Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / February 2006External hard drive problem
Hi! I'm using an external hard drive. Never had problems before but then it decided not to work. Eveytime I open it.. the message: Explorer.EXE application error Memory can't be "written" Debug or close I tried everything, disk clean up, error check-in. but nothing works can't open folders or even remove hardware safely. To remove hard drive I have to switch off computer. pls help.... > Hi! > I'm using an external hard drive.

If external hard drives fail, it would be the hard drive itself or its USB/Firewire electronics card.

So eventually I ended up deleting it from device manager, re booted, and it worked fine ever since. FWIW >Hi! >I'm using an external hard drive.

Can you uninstall the drivers from Device Manager? If so, do so and then turn the computer off. Connect the ex. drive and when the hardware wizard comes up, let it do its thing and see if that doesn't sort it out. Alias Use the Reply to Sender feature of your news reader program to email me.
