Did you test with a different USB cable?
And yes, until you finish testing it - back up data from the drive immediately if you don't have it backed up already.

Re: Day Z, the post apocolyptic zombie survival game
I've been playing Day Z for a little over a week now, maybe longer, and it's been one of the most refreshing games I've played in a while. My current character was able to find a map, compass, matches, and a hunting knife all in Elektro. Now I live off the country side, killing wild animals and cook...

Re: Apple decides what to do with $100 billion
Yes Apple computers are underpowered in terms of CPU etc for their price. But the average person doesn't care and they have no reason to care. For 90% of users, 2GB is more RAM than they need, and a dual-core processor is actually overpowered. There actually aren't that many uses for really powerfu...

Re: Turn-Based Strategy: Conquest of Elysium 3
Just pre-ordered CoE3 and I'm eagerly awaiting the game's release. I really wish the developers would consider releasing the game early for people who pre-ordered, even if it's just a beta, but I know they have their reasons for doing otherwise. I've just found myself watching every single play thro...

Re: Acquisitization of a new laptop
The cheapest Apple real laptop is $1800 (more if you need Windows). For comparison the Dell XPS 15z is $1200 and is better in every way (twice as much memory, more hard drive space, faster CPU, same weight and dimensions, cheaper to upgrade). So yes, the huge Apple Branding Tax is very much in effe...

Re: Acquisitization of a new laptop
If you're looking for a well built machine, I'd suggest any of Lenovo's business class laptops. Although I haven't owned one, I've used a few, and they all seem to be well constructed and run reasonably well. http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/ I have to ask though, why the aversion to Apple products?

Re: Recommend Me a Laptop
Actually, as someone who has brought an EEEpc and a regular notebook, Asus does not come with any more bloatware than any other laptop I know of. What the fuck does that matter? My point is that it comes with bloatware in the first place, which you've just confirmed. A Mac doesn't. As for your iSof...

Re: Recommend Me a Laptop
You can get almost any other name brand laptop with equivalent or better hardware and a bigger screen at a retail store (not even custom building one from something like Dell's website which usually save you at least $5-10% and has free shipping) for damn near 1/3 the price of the base price of the...

13-inch MacBook Pro, if your occasional gaming includes 3D games and price isn't a limiting factor then perhaps a 15-inch MacBook Pro.

Re: [Hardware Question] On the merits of a Gaming Mouse
I have both a Razer DeathAdder and a Logitech MX518. The MX518 is cheap (around 35 USD), durable and can be adjusted between 400, 800 and 1800 DPI. I like both mice quite a bit, but if you're looking for something relatively low priced, the MX518 will handle any task you throw at it with ease. Furth...
