The best I can do on this is to say that you will need to send for repair. I personally do not keep anything on my computer permanently-like maybe two days. I use external drives. Again it is the price paid for light weight. The only time I do not have another computer is when I travel internationally. Otherwise I can send it in and use my other computers. The Acer website has support info on service. There is also an international site. I have sent desktop computers in for repair so this is similar. I would say that you should follow their suggestions in the manual for conditioning the battery so that it lasts longer and performs better. I will just have to pray it is ok while traveling internationally. The best I can do on this is to say that you will need to send for repair.

Mac user? Try dragging the drive's icon to the trash. Or select it and "force quit." If that fails, just turn off the whole computer with the main power switch and restart it in about 5 minutes. (I'm no computer expert, but these are the steps I'd take. If you're using a windows system, I would probably try the last option.) good luck

It will reformat a disk but remember you will loose any info that is on the disk, it will erase everything.

You should not have to leave it on for a day. Just follow the directions, making sure that you have the source and target drives in the appropriate slots and seated properly. Then press the power button. Next, press and hold dock/copy button for 3 seconds or so. the LED should turn from blue to red. Then press the start button and the led will flash in a pink color. As the duplication process continues, the status bar, 4 segments, should start to show the progress of the duplication. I have a lot of data on my HD so it usually takes 4 hrs to complete the process. If these are the guidelines that you are following, the you may have a defective unit. I hope this helps you.

It works but will improperly eject your drive if you put your computer to sleep. Which can cause loos of data or corruption.

Looks like the drive is set up to go to "sleep" after a period of time. That affects a lot of operations, and there's no direct fix for it.

Yes. It worked for me. My hard drive was wiped and I purchased this program. There is one catch. The info was stored and named "Recovered Files" . So, you'll have to rename each item again and then delete the duplicate recovered file. Time consuming but well worth it. A good project when you're watching some random tv show.

it can overwrite the old data ...... go to Menu > system > HDD overwrite and select > on

I am not sure it can with the exception if there is a power loss in the process. I tried coping a hard drive that had a problem and the problem was copied to the new drive so I am not sure it can even correct a problem on the target drive if I understand you correctly.

i reread your question and here's a clarification. it automatically overrides data. old data gets deleted to constantly keeps about 3 weeks worth on hard drive at all times

Shouldn't be a problem. The Red's are pretty reliable drives but statistically even the best drives have failures. It's possible you got some DOAs. Can you see them in OS X's Disk Utility? If so you can format them there. When you do, click on "security" and slide the slider over one click to the right to the first option which is "erase with one pass of zeroes". This in effect writes to every location on the drive. If there's a problem with the drive the procedure will either hang indefinitely, or take and abnormally long time to complete. It should take about 4 hours for a single 2 TB WD Red to complete a single pass. Shouldn't be a problem. The Red's are pretty reliable drives but statistically even the best drives have failures.

i believe it is because the "on" switch is still in the "on" position. the drive stays on until it is removed from the desktop and switched off.

Hi Jun,Yes I have... and erased it very quickly!Here's what happened. I installed the programme as instructed. It worked beautifully... until I tried to start up one day and my PC replied it had to do something as apparently I had switched it off incorrectly... Usually this is quite harmless and windows starts up without any problems... but you've guessed it: not when the system has been crypted. After having tried everything, I had to use the Rescuedisk I had made to decrypt my laptop... which took a cool 26 hours!So... I have been cured and removed TrueCrypt as soon as the laptop worked again! Hi Jun,Yes I have... and erased it very quickly!Here's what happened. I installed the programme as instructed.

The device I bought was from LaCie, which is currently at the Seagate lab right now because they're attempting to recover my data. I don't know if LaCie's a part of Seagate or not. I'm assuming it is. I wish I could tell you more.

test load for 24 hours before use. and then press the power button for 3 seconds

Why would you want to do that ? How about deleting old files on the drive instead ?
