2.5 usb drive will do everything but read properly

Post by KnightRid »

Ok, I have a Hitachi 2.5" drive that was in an iomagic usb drive case that will format, let me write to it, but when I try to read from it, it gives errors. I tried running a hdd regenerator program but it gets to the first 17mb and stops with an error. I checked the drive and it says the serial number is under warranty till 2010, but I dont know if it is the usb controller card or the drive that is bad. Has anyone had this problem before? I cant hook 2 hard drives up to my laptop or I could try it on there. I just dont think I have any other way to test this without using the usb controller card that it came with.

hitachi return instructions are a pain in the ass too! my lord, it is a bad drive, get a grip :)
