Hello guys.
Hoping you can help me out with the issue
i brought this Galaxy Metal Gear Box (Click here for link to the product) from Newegg 5 months ago and it work so extremely well for my 200gb HD i have lying around. so it FAT32 formatted because i switch OSX or Boot Camp XP, so hence the reason why i have it FAT32. after 5 months, i noticed some I/O error appear on Window, so replugging it through USB or Firewire solve the problem. On OSX side, when i plug it in, it wont mount once in a while which i have to reconnect and finally mounted.
Until now, CAlifornia Fire got me all pack up all my important things and with my Galaxy HDD enclosure also. and now i finally unpack and found out my HDD enclosure stop working, the LED light it working and i can feel my HDD is spinning but my OSX is not mounting the HDD. so reconnecting it through USB and Firewire again, and it still wont mount. so i look at my LED light, and it on then came off for few second then came on. it not blinking at all which it suppose do for HDD activity. but nothing, just steady light on. HDD still spinning. So i boot to Boot Camp XP and check it out. i plug it in and waited for a min and Autoplay should kick in after the second i plug it in, but it wont autoplay. so i went to My Computer and found out F: Danmark drive is not there. after turning off the Galaxy and turn it on, it finally appear but it not the name i want it. it said Local Drive. (on OSX, it Danmark as well). after five min, the error finally appear and said partition is not recognized and ask me to reformat it. (Danmark partition is the only partition in the entire 200GB drive). so i boot it back to OSX and load up my Disk Utility, and Disk Utility took a while to load everything and it seem stuck. So i turn off and it finally show all my drive on my Macbook Pro. i went to admin account on OSX and load up my Disk Utility there and turn on my HDD enclosure and it finally show up. it recognized my Galaxy Metal Gear Box, but below it, it said Danmark, but it grey-out. i click to verify disk and got this scary I/O error, "The underlying task reported failure on exit". and the report said the non-HFS partition need to be repair. then i click Verify and Repair, then it still giving me a same I/O error. So i decided to erase my HDD, but it seem stuck there, it said "preparing to erase" and just hang there for 5 min. i have to force quit it.
I thought changing the cable select on the HDD will take care of it, but it didnt. i thought it was the USB issue, but switching to different USB cable and Firewire didnt solve the problem.
While using uTorrent for stuff, it cause my HDD to overload so easily now than before. the same result with Azureus. it handle the load just like a warm knife cut through the cold butter just fine, but now it probe to overloading like two times a week. When i mean overloading, i mean my HDD just end it activity for some reason and cause my uTorrent to build up the RAM because the I/O is cut off. and sometime i got a I/O error in Window while using the torrent and other game program i have on my HDD enclosure.
Is it Galaxy Metal Gear Box issue? or is it my partition? I dont want to erase my HDD because i have worth of 60GB data in my HDD for schooling, picture, video editing stuff.
