    please explain "dili ma recognize"... dili ma detect as USB device? or makita ang hard drive but nothing in it?

    If you could show a screen shot or even type in the actual error message.

    Imo gi try ug paslak sa lain na pc boss? if mao ra gihapon more or less ang prob sa imong external drive. Ipa warranty nalang na boss as your best option.

    Akong friend naay WD MyPassport Essential 320GB same sa imo problem dili ma recognize, ang iya gihimo is iya gi install ang driver software sa WD MyPassport kato ma download sa ila website and working na karon.

    I try lang ni basin mo work nana. Btw, use orignal cable na dala ana.
