I have an external enclosure with a 160GB SATA2 HDD installed in it. THe enclosure is connected to my Linksysea3500 via USB and I can log into it with a defined user and password. I have it as mapped drive (Z) under windows yet the last several times I have transferred DATA to it IT IS NOT THERE the next day when I go to retrieve it. Its not a HUGE deal but I just reinstalled windows cause I wanted to (had no issues just wanted a fresh start) and had saved several things on that darn drive and when I went to reconnect after install it was all there I transferred over some data and left rest on there till I wanted to put it back on local pc. and I just logged in a second ago and the only thing there is data I transferred to it about 3 weeks ago, WTH??!! why is it doing this?? is the drive bad?? can I test it somehow without actually plugging it into the pc??
