is this a WD MyBook? HAve you tried running an exhaustive scan to see if there are any bad sectors?
 
thanks for reply paz

this is just an intermittent thing when running vdj on lappy and has only just started, normally indicator is solid blue but has started doing this changing of indicator colour but does not effect the running of vdj or experience this on the home pc, lappy is used only for gigging and has'nt been no where near the net

will look for any replys later, "toon" is on tv, then off to gig afterwards... cheers


 

Do the destruction's ( you know what I mean mate ) say anything about the change in colour. I know I had a old drive a few years back, and the light on that changed to red when it was overheating.

BTW, that was a handball, lucky result I feel...Hehe

You sure it doesn't change colors between reads and writes? Usually green is a read, and red is a write. In your case it could be blue is a write and green is a read.
 
how about you let us know what model it is before anymore guesses and conjecture as to what the colors mean?
 
wow sorry guys

"its a freecom classic sl 400gb" did it again last night but did'nt effect the performance of vdj maybe djderricke is right, its only i've had it a couple of years and never noticed this happen before, as i said just wondered if this was some sort of warning before failure

thanks for your help
