The power light keeps flashing and it is not being detected on my PC
I have been using this Hard Drive for probably 2 or 3 years now and have never had a problem. Today, I try and plug it into my computer at work and the green light keeps flashing really slowly and it is not being detected, even though the computer makes the beeping noise saying that something has been plugged in. Please help me as I have a lot of pictures on there that I would like to be able to access. Thanks

Try hooking the drive directly to your pc and not with the usb connection you are currently using. Your usb case electronics could have gone south. If still no go, it is possible that drive is toast, especially if it is not being recognized by your pc.
Hard drives are notorious for dying when you least expect them and all critical material should always be in more than one place for obvious reasons.
