External Hard Drive Error?
I have had my SimpleDrive Pininfarina 1TB hard drive for years now. The last time I used it, it seemed to have some connection problem where it wouldn't show on my computer screen but I wiggled the cord and restarted the computer and it worked. Didn't think much about it.

Today I tried to get access to my photos and it won't connect at all. It was reading "E is not accessible. Error performing inpage operation". A quick google search suggested running the "chkdsk" function, for which I did. I don't really know what that did but it took forever to run and the problems still exists.

I don't really know what else to do and all I really want is my photos of it!

Not sure what to do without running the risk of deleting all information on it. Is there a store anyone recommends? Or has this occurred with anyone else?

Take the drive out of the case and get a external hard drive dock and try it in there.

Does anyone have one of those that they would like to help me out with?
Otherwise, can anyone recommend a store they trust?

Thanks,
I gave it a try but it still says inpage error operation when i put it in a hard drive dock.

I suppose NCIX has the ability to look at this type of stuff?

Probably a corrupted file system.

See if you can find a drive recovery program and plug the drive (the bare drive - not the enclosure) into your computer and see if it can recover any of your pictures.

My guess is that it might be an earlier generation portable drive with a bad (read: crappy) USB controller on it. A lot of my earlier generation USB drives would constantly drop it's connection to the drive and as a result, data corruption would occur.
