  8. power down the hard drive? not if you have a seagate. I’ve had more seagates “click of death” after being powered down than I care to recall. Keep your seagate always up and spinning to increase life.

  11. this isnt really related to this video but the usb ports on my pc give power and dont detect anything. ive tried disabling and enabling the drivers. using new drivers. unplgging my pc. and a few other things. im guessing the usb ports are not going to work any more. i have another computer that doesnt work and i was thinking about replacing some parts in it to see if it would fix my usb problem. anyone have any solutions or ideas on what i could do to fix this?
