External Hard drive.

[herfiehandbag]

I have this external hard drive.

I have had it for about ten years, but have not used it for several years.

When I connect it, using the "double USB" connections, it is very slow to load. "The green bar" creeps along very slowly, and after several minutes this message appears:

the little blue light on the front of the case flickers away, so I presume something is happening inside.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions - I am the man for whom " plug and play" was invented!

 

Grateful for any suggestions...

Perhaps this helps
