Hi there,
I recently bought a drivestation, but ive been having nothing but problems with it ever since i got it. I know nothing about computers so I have no idea how to fix these things but ill tell you whats wrong.
The main thing is that it doesnt like it when i try to transfer things onto the drive, it may transfer a few items but then itll freeze, causing my whole pc to freeze & i have to restart the whole computer. When i first plugged it in i went through the whole process of changing the file system from FAT32 to NTFS using the program that was on the hard drive itself, but i think i remember seeing it still being FAT32 afterwards.
Then my pc decided to randomly switchoff without warning & ever since then ive been having problems with the hard drive. I wasn't able to access the drive & when i tried installing things onto the drive (libraries of VST instruments), the setup would freeze & again id have to restart the whole PC. I formatted the drive through Device Manager & changed it to NTFS but i still have the same problems. I just cant transfer anything onto the drive or install anything because it will just freeze & crash. I rly dont want to have to buy another one but i fear i may have to.
When formatting, i lost all of the things that were originally on the hard drive (drivenavi.exe, the icon etc), but i think i can get them back because my friend bought the same hard drive & hes had no problems whatsoever (he said he didnt use any programs from the hard drive, he just plugged it in & started transferring) so i think i can recover drivenavi.exe & whatever else was on the drive.
I could rly do with a solution to this problem & if anyone can help me here, I'd be very grateful. I'm running XP media centre if that helps.
Thanks, Derek.
