"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned..."
Ok I am going crazy here please if anyone can help I would greatly
appreciate it.
So im using a Western Digital External hard drive and its been working
fine until today. I tried to connect it and I got the error message "one
of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and
windows does not recognize it"
and when I tried to restart my computer it says installing new driver
software then it says software was not installed successfully. And when
I try to download the device software from the website it goes through
it then at one point it says there is no wd device connected and to
connect a device and rescan when it is clearly connected. I have not
done any updating or restoring or anything like that . I have no clue
hoe this happened but I have 80Gb's of all my music in this hard drive i
really need to get it back. plz help
