    Drive keeps getting disconnected


    I have a new Dell XPS 8950 that has several issues. One of these is that one of my drives often disconnects and I cannot access any of the data. This is a drive specifically for my photographs. Some times while working on a photo within an app, I go to save some edits and I can't because the drive cannot be accessed. Sometimes a reboot fixes things, sometimes not.Dell has been extremely unhelpful and says it's not their problem. The computer is only about 2 months old.Any suggestions? I've tried to search within Microsoft and Dell but come up with nothing.Thanks.

    :)

    OS drive disconnecting while in use

    Okay so my SSD (listed in specs) keeps disconnecting itself while my desktop is in use. What happens is I'll be sitting there and suddenly progams stop working and crashing. Then Task Managerwwon't come up, followed by more programs and background services and then a BSOD.

    When it reboots the SSD isn't listed until I disconnect the power and boot it. Works for a bit, then drops again.

    Halp plz. I'm missing out on WCG crunching.

    Lost data from hard drive, what to do now?

    Well, I'm sorry to hear that it's a WD My Passport that failed on you, @tomhenry ! *Frown Drive keeps getting disconnected :(
    I'd recommend you to try using a different USB cable with it and see if that will help your system to detect it without it disconnecting.
    I'd also suggest you to go to Disk Management and see how the drive is listed there. It won't hurt to check up on the health and SMART status of the HDD by running the QUICK and EXTENDED tests from the WD's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics. Here's a link to the available software: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=11ZOpD

    Give these troubleshooting steps a try and keep us posted with the results!

    Drive keeps getting disconnected

    Hyper-v keeps getting disconnected with RS1


    Only user but keep getting disconnected since upgrading Pro N to RS1
    Any suggestions?

    Edit: THOUGHT I found problem. My wifi adaptor on pc had got bridge linked with the hyper-v virtual router and that was confusing things. Also explains why I was getting an internet icon.

    Reset wifi and now ok.

    EDIT 2: ARRGH - Problem is back
