Hi, Ive been having problems with my external hd, whenever I try to put files on it i get an i/o error, how do i fix this?

There's no reason that the hard disk in an external case will last any less time than an internal one. I will admit that I've had several flaky external cases lately, but at $20/ea, I guess that's to be expected. :)

Ive come to the conclusion its 1 or 2 things.

1: My usb 2.0 controller is bad, is there a way to determine this

2: my hd and my usb controller are bad.

I say this because I hardley ever get my external to boot up on my comp anymore, when i put it in my regular usb ports it boots up np.

But i just bought another xternal hd yesterday and that one wont boot either. It has to be somthing other then the new hd. I know the other one is bad because i cant put files on it, only take files off, and thats ONLY if i can get it to boot, which i cant do for the life of me today.

It has somthing to do with my comp or somthing, or the usb controller.

I used to be able to get the old one to boot buy uninstalling the usb 2.0 software that came with the controller, but now that wont even work.
