My drive suddenly stopped working, I read some threads on the blinking light issue and purchased a new power supply.
That didn’t make any difference.
Windows would give me a Cyclic Redundancy Check error message and the only option available to me was to format.
I lost the backup data, but thankfully on a whim I had purchased an extra external drive last week!
The Drive is working again, however is this drive failing and should I dump it? Why would it suddenly need formatting?
