I would *strongly* suggest backing up any critical data - it sounds as if the drive &quot;reset&quot; itself, which is usually an imminent sign of failure...<br />

I am trying to reformat the drive by using the format function in Windows, I started the format at 10:00am this morning but the format task is incomplete, I would say 80% is done. &nbsp;Is there any fast method to format it in 30 minutes?

I have a USB Seagate drive, this is a 1.8TB capacity USB external harddrive, I found that the following error logged in my System log on a Windows Server 2003 server for every 20 minutes. &nbsp;Based on my observation, the warning below logged while the drive is idle and at the time of logging, I heard a sound from the drive, the sound like something triggered on, then a windows pop up and asking for &quot;Open folder to view files&quot;, the same windows as the usb key or usb drive started.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how to solve the problem?<br />
<br />
The model of Seagate USB ext drive is &quot;9sf2a8-500&quot;.<br />
<br />
The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur.<br />

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
