My usb hard drive drive drop’s a connection every 20 min.
or so with the connection failed warning…. It could be many problems. First check your usb cable and usb port to make sure it’s seated into the slot. If the cables are good. try a different usb port, better if its on a different board.
If it still drops like mine I’m switching out hard drives in the external case itself and see if it will hold a connection.

I had this warning when I added a another HD (IDE) to my PC and instaled Windows 7 Beta.The first HD was Sata.The drive (IDE)would give a warning each time when I try to copy from it using USB external HD or Pendrive even to the internal Sata drive.
After going through the WEB & not finding any solution I
guessed the problem was the IDE cables having a slow transfer
of data.After changing the IDE cables with a faster transfer of data it worked fine. hope this might help someone.Thanks.

I must disagree with this statement you made… “This kind of problem is observed when the drive is almost full…”

I am experiencing the same problem (and same message) with my new 1TB ‘My Book’ USB drive. I only have 6GB used of 931GB available (I should point out that I have no trouble with my other 7 external drives ranging from 120GB to 500GB).

You are correct in the time frame of how long it will take to implement the solution you provided. It took about 7 hours to do my 1TB drive.

People should be aware of the second part of the error message that states it could be a failure of the connection (network). I have been unplugging the USB cable, waiting a few minutes, then plugging it back in and everything was fine.

I’m only trying your suggestion to see if it stops me from having to “pull the plug” every few days.

I have a feeling it won’t… BUT, Not because there’s a flaw in your fix… But, because my particular problem strays from your original cause.

Hey guys
Thank you so much for posting this. I thought everything on my harddrive was going to be gone.
Keep up the good work!
