Having problems with your PC Desktops ?
My iomega 550gb multimediadrive isnt showing on my computer and when plugged into tv the splash screen starts but says no disk after 5 mins????? is it dead or can i save it?
Answers :
Start from the begining by turning off your computer with nothing plugged into it except the mouse,keyboard and monitor. Once you have it started plug in the iomega and see if it is recognized. You should get info on the drive from your pc. If not open my computer and see if you can see it. If not sounds like it maybe dead.
