My windows 7 motherboard crashed on my laptop but the hard drive is okay. I needed some files over the weekend and figured out how to change ownership of my hard drive (put in a SATA enclosure) to my mother's computer.
Today I plugged my external in and I think I changed ownership correctly. I can access my files on my local disk but I got some errors saying that the "parameter is incorrect" and kept connecting and disconnecting all my drives on the external (it's split into like 4 or 5 separate ones).
Eventually it let me connect to my local disk and I was able to transfer some of my files. Now I'm transferring a big group of 75 gb and it keeps disconnecting every few seconds. It also told me that the drive needed to be repaired, but when I run the scan and repair option, it never finishes and then just errors out.
After I get this 75 gb transferred I'm fine with wiping the harddrive clean and turning it into an external, but it's making transferring my files very difficult.
Any ideas without losing my data?
EDIT: Okay, it seems like it can work with USB 2.0 but not 3.0. I tried to change the power settings like I've seen some people suggest but still didn't help
