My 320G passport files not responding due to unknown reason.My computer uses win 7 and i can see the passport drive and files on it.But when i click on the files to open it, some reason files stops responding and all computer freezes. I checked with ESET for virus and nothing found.I checked the properties of the drive and it says 160 GB has been used which i think the files are still inside…Even tried on a different computer still the same. .Do i need to format ,or do i need any file recovery program. i am worried of losing my files .Please help me out…
Tried with a good cable from one of my friends passport.Still have the same issue.Also installed the drive to a different computer.Istallation took very long but after i tried to open the drive , not responding. Although it detects drive , properties shows it has my stored data as 160 GB, Dnt know what to do …
Update- did a diagnostics from drive settings and heres the result
Quick smart status - failed
Quick drive test - failed
=======================
Any ideas …i am going to format the drive…is that going to wipe of my memory .Can i retrieve my files back after that ? please show mw some light on this issue…
