I have a Toshiba external hd that i use to back up my most inportant files, only had it about 3 months.After i installed windows update this week my pc wont recognise the HD, it finds new hardware which it says is 'Cypress AT2LP RC42' although it never did this when i first installed it.Ive tried a system restore but that didnt make ne difference and ive searched google but the only help seems to be in german which i had a go at but i cant figure out how to install the d/l it showed (thats if its the right one)Can ne1 please help me???ThanxPaul. I have a USB 2.0 IDE Adapter (external). It's basically an external USB HD case without the case.
Allows me to use all of my leftover HDs for backup.Worked fine until today when windows found new hardware said it was loking for 'cypress at2lp rc58'. Same problem with 3 diff HDs.Fixed it by setting the HD to slave (manual says to set it to Master and that's what I did before), plug it in, then set it back to Master and plug it in. It's not consistent though. Some fiddling on strapping is necessary. Hi All,I have just had this problem. However I have now fixed it.
It does seem to be the housing of the external hard drive.If you remove the outer case (Carefully but with a bit of force!!!!! If that makes sense? ) then using jumpers, set the disk to slave and build into your PC. In know this takes away all the advantages of having an external drive but you will find that there is too much valuable information on there. Como caerle bien a las personas en 90 segundos pdf.
So just go and buy another drive when pay day arrives!I wouldn't worry wasting your time with all the coding that the chap was taking about earlier. However that could be useful one day.Anyway peeps, I hope you find this useful and I really hope you get your problem sorted.P.S. This is for reference and not gospel so please don't even bother attempting to sue my back side if all goes wrong.CheersKevin. I have sent out my old Firelite which was an 80 GB to FlashFixers. FlashFixer was nice enough to recover my files from the Firelite gettomg rid of the CYpress AT2LP RC42 error. They transfered all the files from my old Firelite to a new 120 GB Firelite for 100 dollars.
I have had the new Firelite for about a week been working fine until today I am getting the Cypress AT2LP RC42 message. I understand somebody in this thread that they used jumpers to get rid of the problem.
Where do I find the jumpers in the Firelite.
