About a year or two ago I purchased a My Passport Ultra. I have all my important files backed up on it and it worked really well up until a few hours ago. I was transferring many files to it at once and out of nowhere it give me an error saying that the drive is not read/writable. So I ejected the device, unplugged, and replugged. Now the device is acting very slow, it’s taking a long time for my computer to detect it, once it’s detected I type in my password, it take a long time for the main folder to mount, and then it shows my files/folders, but it won’t let me open them or write anything to the disk. It’s acting very weird and I’m very concerned since all of my life is basically backup on this drive and nowhere else. Please help me, I would really appreciate it!
I suggest you remove drive from computer properly, then reboot the computer. Once fully booted re-attach the drive and hopefully it will all work again. If not, the drive may have failed.
If you know how to have the computer operating system scan the drive for errors try that and this may clear up any problem, Good luck with it all.
