Having trouble copying file, does this drive not work with front usb ports?

In file manager, you should be able to "drag and drop" a file from your "C" drive (or wherever your copying from) to the Lexar. Your front USB port might not be hooked up internally or the front port might be rated below USB 2.0. Try inserting the Lexar in a USB port in the back of your computer.....should work then.

Before copying file over make sure the files are all closed out before you can proceed

I would compare this drive to the current one you own. If the size or type of connector is different then that it's where your problem lies

I'm aware that the drive works with both USB cables plugged in. However, since the choice is between using up an extra usb port and a usb extension cable (my laptop has exactly two ports: one on each side, so the default cable won't reach); buying a usb hub; or finding a power adapter that will work with the unit, I would prefer to have the extra power cable run to where the drive will "permanently" sit.

I'd have to see a picture of your drive to give you a definite answer. Does your drive have a detachable base containing the USB port and the same AC power connector?

Sorry to tell you, yeah it's a bad drive. These aren't official Microsoft hard drives, so sometimes they won't work. Try returning it. Mine works pretty nice, but had I known that it wasn't actually produced by Microsoft, I wouldn't have bought it.

For direct cloning, I didn't have much success when the destination drive was smaller than the source drive. If the destination is equal or larger, works fantastic! One workaround was to make an image of the source using a 3rd party software, then write the image back on the destination.

I've plugged it into USB2.0 port to save a drive on an older box, and it works fine. Somewhat slower than USB3.0, as you would expect.

Not an expert, but you may try reformatting the usb drive in FAT32 structure.

I use "AOMEI Partition Assistant Home Edition 5.1" which is free. I've cloned several drives, XP and 7, never any problems.

I bought this thinking the same thing. When I tried to do this, it did not recognize the files that were on the USB. So in my experience it did not work.

I am not sure why you can not copy over 4 GB, for I copied 31 GB until it died on me several weeks later. The only thing I do everytime when I buy a USB drive is to reformat for Mac, Otherwise it may give me problems at time.

Hard to tell, but if the drive was working fine before putting it in the enclosure, then there's a good chance the enclosure is defective. The quality is pretty bad, unfortunately... Same thing happened to me. I complained and got a replacement. Any chance you can put your drive in a different enclosure, to test it?

Hello, I do not have a prestige, however i believe all USB Hard drives work somewhat the same way - just plug and go! (i could be wrong tho) Hope this helps!

I haven't tried it but the only limitation I found is with USB 3.0 it won't see the drive.

The one I purchased works....Try testing just 1 Thumb Drive connected to your computer,- maybe competing USB devices could be drawing too much current. Try it one someone elses' computer, if same result. Perhaps you need a powered USB hub. Or mail back to seller for exchange.

Try formating it in other than FAT32. I use NTFS, which allowes me to copy larger files etc.
