ok so i have a 500GB standalone media player, Trekstor Movie Station is whats its called. had it for quite a while now and been filling it up ever since and never had a problem with it. until today, i plugged it into my laptop to put more movies on it, turned it on and my computer doesnt see it!
here's what happens exactly, it recognizes that an external usb drive has been inserted. like i get the icon down on the tray saying that there's smth connected, but i get nothing in my computer..
actually what really happens is that after i turn it on, and my laptop recognizes that its connected, my whole computer freezes! and as soon as i turn it off, everything goes back to normal and my computer works fine.
so my first impression was that the hard drive on the media player was done, but when i hook it up to the tv, everything works fine. like all the data is read and i watch/load stuff off of it. but as soon as its connected to the computer, all bets are off.
so i tried switching the usb data cable and still got nothing, i also tried connecting to it on another pc and same problem happened.
im running on windows vista, 1gb RAM
please ppl im desperate here. i spent too much time and effort to have all my data just not be accessible anymore! not to mention that piece of hardware was expensive man! anybody got any ideas??
all help would be much appreciated, thanks guys!
