external harddrive problem
Hi all.... I have a harddrive installed in a Vantec Nexstar firewire
and USB enclosure. After a recent power interruption the drive no longer works on the firewire connection, the USB connection works fine. The powersupply was plugged into a APC battery backup and surge protector. Can anyone offer some clue as to what might of happened and how I might be able to troubleshoot the problem? Thanks |

The powersupply was plugged into a APC battery backup and surge protector. This offers pretty much no protection. UPS's leave the mains connected directly to the PC and only switch in when power failes. The surge protector wouldn't be of much help unless it was installed in your main fusepanel. Can anyone offer some clue as to what might of happened and how I might be able to troubleshoot the problem? Try new cables. Try on another PC. |
