You have a defective drive most likely, replace it.

Serious ? but then when i use it as normal external Hdd, I still can use it to store video. jz problem is after i store i still unable to copy it out from momentus again..

If you read the newegg reviews and some forum posts elsewhere, there seem to be quite a few people who received defective drives and had to get them replaced. Sorry to say, but you may just have a bad drive.

This sounds very much like a defective drive.
