If you encounter issues with your Iomega Prestige Portable Hard Drive, consider the following:

• Дыск не выяўлены:
  • Пераканайцеся, што USB-кабель надзейна падключаны як да дыскавода, так і да кампутара.

  • Праверце дыск з дапамогай іншага USB-кабеля, калі ён ёсць.
  • Перазагрузіце кампутар.
• Недастатковая магутнасць:
