Having trouble with my mobile HDD enclosure..

[nodols3]

---

mobile HDD: 40 gig seagate momentus
Enlosure: USB 2 na Matrix ang brand.."walay klaro pero mao raman ang barato ato pagpalit nako.."

If I-insert na nako sa PC reklamo na USB 1.1 ra daw ang PC, pero after awhile mo load ra gihapon.. nya maka browse ko sa HDD, even run some applications from the mobile disk..

The problem comes when I save something gikan sa PC padung sa Mobile Hdd, mocopy siya makita pagud nako..na naa jud..

Kaso when I remove it and plug it in sa ako PC ( ang gigamit diay nako na PC nga gicopyahan sa internet cafe) wala ang file nga ako gicopy..diay mag "safe remove" gyud ko inig tang tang sa HDD from the cafe's PC..

kini ang akong suliran...hinaut pa unta inyo akong tabangan..salamat daan..

naa gyod tingali compatibility issue ang mga mobile drive/enclosure sa? ika 3rd ni nga problem akong nasugatan. ang 1st ug 2nd astone ang enclosure. unsa gyod kaha nindot nga enclosure sa? kana ba bisan asa itaod nga computer, bisan usb 1.1 or 2.0 wala prob.

im using "that's" enclosure. wala mn problema.

baka hdd mo naa damage or badblocks?
you must use the "safety remove" when your removing your hdd cause it can currupt your data and can damage your hdd. sometimes physical shock can currupt or damage your hdd considering mobile pa imoha.

imong pc gigamit kay usb 1.1 ra. hinay kaayo ang file transfer ana. tingali wala pa mahuman ug copy jud then imo gi-remove ang drive. dapat cguraduon jud nimo na wala nay activity ang external drive nimo. ang activity light sa imong external drive tan-awa. dili ra ang file na imong gi copy ang tan-awn. kung ganahan jud ka mu check if mana ug transfer, suwayi ug open or run ang file na imong gi transfer.

walay problema imong matrix na usb 2 enclosure. mao pud na gamit nako. maayo pud na ang seagate momentus na drive.

probably usb 1.1 ra ang pc sa internet, wala ma enable sa bios. like cebutech said, wala pa mahuman ug copy to drive, na remove na. Also, do not use any usb hub, bisan ingon nga usb 2, kay most of the time mura rag usb 1.1

Sorry been out for awhile...bitaw mga bro..I think it has something to do with the USB 1.1 compatibility issue, kay sa ako kaila nga PC ko gamit wala man problem USB 2 hinuon gyud nya sa ako sad PC wala sad..safety remove man nako permi ang ako hdd, here's another problem I've encountered, dili dayon siya ma safely remove, kinahanglan kaduhaon nimo i safety remove aron ma, it is now safe to remove the blah blah na..

at first safety remove nako ingon ang message nga cannot be removed ang device kay busy daw...

Also wala ni bad blocks or bad sectors akong HDD, brand new man sad ni nako pagpalit naka ziplock pa, hasta ang enclosure..

hmmm.. naa ko kaila ngingon ana sad iya usb.. i think naa something to do sa kana nga enclosure.. try dw nah imong hd sa lain nga enclosure kng ok ra ba..

USB 2.0 is by far the fastest data transfer in usb lines. although you can use usb 2.0 compliant devices on usb 1x computers, you can always get the little bubble note that pops-up during the detection. nothing to worry.

the function of windows xp 'safely remove' is just to make sure that nothing which you are currently doing, are not saved on the drive. you can actually remove right away the device, provided that you disable the buffering mode of that device. meaning, all the things you are doing will be saved directly to the device rather than to the buffer.

and also, there are issues when using usb devices on windows 98. be sure you install the software that comes with your device, if not, this might lead to problems in the future.

the rule of the thumb is, install the software first, before inserting the usb device. this applies to printers and cameras etc.. etc.
