My Book World Edition loses connectivity with my PC

I seem to be having the same problem with my drive locking up when I’m in Windows Explorer. I’ve spent the last hour trying to get a simple photo from a directory and have given up.

Honestly, this drive has been one of the worst things I have ever purchased and have had nothing but problems with it from day one. Most I manage to get around but I am at my wits end trying to access my own data.

Does anybody have a solution?  jdz2k’s post looks pomising but can’t find a solution in their post history and I’ve never used Linux. 

Please help :frowning:
