Before trying anything else, see if you can get the drive to work on other computers. My worry is that your haste to unplug the drive (you should've restarted or shut down the computer, just to be sure) caused the hard disk to lose power and the reader head to land on the data platters.

May be a energy source issue! There´s a double cable that comes with some versions (got a HXD5) that comes with a cable that is 2 USB in one side and a USB mini in the other tip. This cable works well in all computers, the simple cable works only in some computers that have some specific driver I don´t know what is it. That´s what I´m looking for right now, if anyone knows please let me know! Tks all,
Carlos

Hi, I know this was posted long ago, but maybe this poster or someone else can answer: if indeed this is the case (reader head landed on data platters), what, if anything, can be done?

fwiw, i am having same problem as the others in this thread, but mine won't work on other computers, either, and i have a feeling this is the case.

thanks!
