I can't actually open anything or copy anything when I try I get an error saying it can't find the drive.īut at least now there is a new error. It didn't reset my password, but now I can see my drive and my files. ![]() Finally, I pulled the power, held down the button and plugged it back in. Lights are still on, drive is still humming.
