The problem with external media
The problem is: when I connect my external hard drive WD MY PASSPORT ULTRA doesn't windows detect the device,with the indication that it is running on fire. In device Manager it is not, as it's not in disk management. The drive worked fine a day agomibr777
It happens that die controller that translates SATA to USB. Try to dig it out of the box (if cook) and connect via SATA directly.
If all muffled. Look in АИДЕ64 - does it do the system and you look SMART (Express diagnostics).
If the screw pulled away, little last thing you can do low level format (write zeros to all sectors). Then format to NTFS.
THAT USUALLY HELPS
If this is all hard to do, then let the spec. There long all the time.
There is another option - the lack of power when powered by USB. Previously, because not for nothing did on external drives connectors for additional power, because not every computer could be powered from the same socket. I would start with, checked the drive on another computer, preferably not very old configuration, and with USB 3.0. If the drive has a connector for additional power supply - plug in him, too.
I remember when I printer was that the same garbage was always something so off. The mouse, the keyboard, the camera. Then I went and got a hub with food, stuck in the camera with myshoy and everything was fun. Well, at least the hard external your diet is. If it begins to fail it vytknul it from the socket, waited Maleh and thrust again and tried.
