I bought this cheap laptop to have a way to keep in touch with all my friends and family. It doesn't have a lot of ram so i bought a Seagate then 1 TB portable drive. I set it up to use for all the heavier stuff such a couple online games I play and teamspeak and things like that. Well I logged on a bit ago and at first it recognized it then stopped. I unplugged and shut everything down restarted and nothing since! I am major disappointed what with everything I am dealing with now! Pleasecan someone assist me so I can get this thing going again. I almost forgot to tell you that the wireless mouse I use withit also stopped at the same time! It stillhas plenty of battery power butthe machine isn't reading it now either.

Pretty much what Kaptain said...with a few follow up questions...

 

Do any lights come on the external drive?

Have you tried the external drive on another computer?

The pad still works but the mouse shuts down. Funny thing is logged on a couple days ago and everything seemed to be fine yet I had to reformat the hard drive. I have tried to put some of the online games I play in it and yet they loose connection when I log on the next day. Any ideas about that?
