Thread: Fault when copying from Outer Drive

I am testing to copy some documents from an outer hard drive to another drive. At first I have to await for a while as it tells "Preparing to copy..." and then it copies so slowly. Later copying a some(different number any time I test) documents, it gives me the following content:
"Cannot copy documents: Cannot read from the source documents or cd."

As you have just told windows is unable to function disk assure your inner hard disk may have arose few worse sectors. About outer har-drive what you can do is that assure it out at friends PC and if functioning there please assume backup of it there. and if the disk is functioning there exactly then you inner is surely having few bad part. Test taking backup reinstalling your OS.

Upon inserting my outer drive into a Universal Serial Bus slot on the back of the PC, I observe it is ALOT quickly than the Universal Serial Bus slot in the front of the PC where I had it plugged in so long. It too copies exactly just with no fault content. I just see that BOTH of my front Universal Serial Bus ports are not functioning exactly and the fault content were due to that.

Back panel Universal Serial Bus slot are exactly mounted to CPU board , and sometimes front panel Universal Serial Bus slot not functions correctly due to loose link among port and CPU board. So now what you have to do is only open the case and assure the links are correctly or not , and if than too the slots really not functions properly , then might be you have to alter the wire which links front panel USB port with CPU board.

If it functioned prior to dropping it, you might have harmed the drive. If that is the case your just option is to send it in for repair. It might price more to repair than what you could purchase a fresh one for though.
