external HDD BAD
You use the diagnostics tool provided by your external or hd manufacturer,
if that reports the drive has failed, well you need to replace it "paul3200" wrote in message ... my external harddrive is apparently BAD when i go on to partition magic is says it is a bad hdd how can i fix it

Is it a external drive with a built-in USB port only or through some USB/IDE
converter or something alike? "paul3200" wrote in message ... my external harddrive is apparently BAD when i go on to partition magic is says it is a bad hdd how can i fix it

external HDD BAD
USB extenders as you call them are normally powered seperately via their own plug (is yours like this?) if not then the chances are it cannot power the device and needs to go directly into a USB port - I am guessing that you have the extender as you say only have 2 USB ports and need 3 or 4 for the devices you use. If you are to carry on using the extender you will need to unplug all the devices not needed when you want to use the HDD as it will draw far too much power from your rails. If you need any clarification, please let me know -- Dalo Harkin Posted via http://www.computerhelpforums.net
