Hello, I'm CrazyKilla
I've had this external HDD for a while and it worked until a while back, when it just didn't show up on 'My Computer' anymore. Right now I need to use this HDD and I have to leave with it in 3 days.
The HDD does not show up in my computer.
Once connected it does not show up in 'Device Manager'
Once disk management is opened it is detected, if asked to initialize disk it prompts me with: "The Device is Not Ready".
I installed Iomega Encryption software (The HDD is an Iomega eGo) which has an option to erase the HDD. Once it detects the HDD if I attempt to erase, or change anything the HDD dissapears from Disk Management but appears in Device Manager as 'Unknown Device'. Yes every time I do this it happens, not coincidentally.
Everything I try, even using diskpart to clean the HDD it claims that something is out-of-date.
Yes, the HDD does not work on multiple PCs.
There is no external Power supply that it needs.
The HDD uses a Micro B cable and it leads into two cables, USB 3.0 and 2.0. I've tried both, neither make a difference.
If you could contribute any help, please do.
