I have an Iomega 160GB External HD. I have all my music, photos etc stored on this. It has been workin perfectly until recently, when suddenly, for some reason, it wont work.
When I connect it via the usb, it turns on, but when I try to acces it via my computer, it says the disc is inaccessible due to an I/O error.
The drive was not dropped or anything like that. I have tried some data recovery software but they have had the same issue of not being able to access it. I have tried to scan it for viruses with the same outcome.
Could anyone suggest anything?
Or if it is damaged, is there some way to get the information from that onto a new drive?
Thanks.
