- Hi.. My AE 3.5" HD drive broke a while ago. Here are some symptoms for you
- hardware hackers:
-
- When I go to format a new disk, the LED turns ORANGE instead of red, formats
- a couple tracks, and then throws an error code at me.
-
- When I insert a disk, it can neither read nor write to it.
-
- It can catalog ONE 3.5" disk I have, the one that was in the drive at the time
- (I think: My little brother 'broke' it.)
-
- When you put a disk in, it makes clunking sounds. Sometimes continues the
- sounds even when the drive is not being accessed.
-
- I have a lot of stuff archived on HD disks and would like to get it fixed.
- Do you periphial wizards have any suggestios, or should I just throw up
- the rag and call AE Customer Service and have them fix it? Thanks!
