@Zaiaku it disconnects from the computer automatically after a few minutes

@lizardsquid woo...that could be a ton of shit. Wire is bad, port bad or maybe the USB port on the computer is bad.... The drive itself might be fine.

@Zaiaku given that I dropped the drive when I moved home, it could also be the drive

@lizardsquid Put your ear up to it then plug it in. If the drive clicks or sounds like its grinding, its definitely the drive
