thank you for responding to my thread,i've try repairing the external hard drive with chkdsk command...and now my hdd is recognised by usb ports(found new hardware ...)but still i need the software to be installed on the pc ,so that it can be recognise(i have to mention that this ext hdd had never been installed on my computer before...i got it from a friend who gave it to me sealed...but the only thing missing was the cd with the software)......another thing that changed now is the colour of the indicator light who got from dark and intense blue to nearly distinguishable blue....(could it be a additional power issue ?)...still i have both dc and usb2.0 cables plugged on the usb ports...so my question still remain if this ext hdd could be operational without the software on the cd....
Thanks in advance.
