My USB hard drive has a Delayed Write failed error. This is another kind of error which is more common with USB hard drives due to some error in the File allocation table.
This is a disgusting thing for me. How can I recover it?
Delayed Write failed error in my USB hard drive
Hi,
To recover it, you can try to do following:
-
The error might be caused by a lot of reasons, but most probably the problem can be found in the device driver. Â For example with SCSI or with RAID device driver. So, make sure that your drivers are up-to date. It depends on your device driver so that you can check all information, etc. You will find this on the webpage of the manufacturer.
-
Another reason of this error might be cabling problem. The cable can be broken or faulty, so check it. Â It can also be because the cable is too long or hooked up through a hub that is not up to spec.
-
If you are using UDMA drive which requires 80 pin cable, so check if you are using a right cable.
-
Another solution is to try to connect the external drive to any other computer and take a backup of the data on the computer or any other external device. Then, try to format it to FAT32 or NTFS format.
Thank you,
Mary
