hi my friend asked me to have a look at a there external hard drive after she split coke on it, and it stop working, the power is still getting to it the hard drive is still spining but the driver appears to be missing.
there is no vissable water marks (no sign of damage within the casing) (also there is no arking, burn marks)
there is power to the board and driver (light on the front and the driver spinning)
mine and there laptop both recognise that there is something there (as a 'unknown device') but it doesn't recognise it as a storage device.
when it did work it installed drivers from the windows drivers. i manually tryed choosing these drivers without success. it came back error code 10.
so i am unsure what the problem to be except the driver is missing,
much abilaged if anyone can help
just to in form i am running on vista
