My book says it's need a format everytime i plug it

Hello guys,

i’m having a disturbing problem.

I have 1 tb my book drive which connects by usb.

everytime i unplug it and then plug it back - windows says it’s need a format.

it happens on two different computers.

what can we do about this ?

Hi, could be a data corruption problem, you need to be sure to always safely eject the hard drive before disconnecting the USB cable. You can try backing up all of your files and then formatting the my book.
