Hi, I have an 6 months old External HDD. It was working fine and I could read and write to it easily from Win XP. Today we had a power failure when I was booting up the Desktop with the External HDD connected to the USB port. After the power came back, I have been unable to access the External HDD. When I connect it to the USB port, it says check the external HDD and then I get a message: Windows cannot recognize the USB device, please replace it. Also, the Red light on the External HDD is continuously on. Generally when it was working Fine the Green LED used to glow whereas Red LED used to Glow only when the External HDD was being accessed. Any ideas on how to solve the problem. Or is my External HDD gone BAD?
