Actually, someone suggest me to run Disk Utility to make a verification… and it gave me an error. I tried to repair, but with Disk Utility I was not able to do so… So I tried with Drive Genius which I’ve been able to repair the hard drive… now should be ok.

What you mean by firmware? Thank you for the reference as well… I will write to make the follow up because it’s not the first time I got hard time to eject the hard drive.

And at the same time, I got another hard drive that always disconnect by itself… so I tried to back up all my files on another hard drive… but it’s very hard, it’s super long and if my file is like 1GB well the hard drive will eject… so I’m not able to back up. I wanted to back up everything to format the hard drive… Do you know a way I could do to make the back up so I can format without loosing everything?
What is rebuild a hard drive? Is this could be an option without loosing all my files? I have Disk Warrior but I’m not sure to understand how it’s working… so before trying anything I want to make sure I’m doing the correct thing…

Thanks for your advise!

Hi Kim,

Thanks for the info. It sounds like it was a directory issue. When I first read your post, the description of the behavior was the same as I have seen with the G-DRIVE and we have a firmware update for. What is the other drive you are having issues with? You can send me the serial number for that as well.
