Hi guys,
I bought a Seagate 500GB External HDD 2 months ago. Everything was working well till yesterday. Today morning, when I turned on the PC, the games and the programmes' icons which were inside the HDD were changed to unknown icons. I never understood the problem. I also have MS Office 2010 Pro inside the HDD. After a thorough research, I found out that the drive letters on the partitions that I created for the External HDD were changed. At first it was G,I,J,K and it changed to I,J,K,M. I then changed the drive letters to the old ones and restarted the PC. Now, the icons are all back but the MS Office was giving out a problem and couldn't open it afterwards. I tried uninstalling but a message came "This program is already uninstalled......" but before I could do anything, the PC just restarted automatically. I tried several times but failed. I'm really worried now. I need the solution to the following problems:
1. What might have caused the re-naming of the HDD? I never unpligged it from my PC nor plugged it in any other ones. Will I be having this problem again? Is there any solution?
2. I tried re-installing MS Office 2010 from the CD and it installed and its all going well now. I didn't try to uninstall it. Will other games and Apps also show the same problem?
Please friends, post what you know and the solution to solve this. Is the HDD damaged?
