TestDisk should work for you to recover your files. Running the /R switch will take a very long time especially if the drive is failing. Check Disk must Unmount the drive first before running Check Disk. The Error message you are getting when running Check Disk is not an error message at all. However, WD has proprietary pin outs and firmware, so you can only use this drive in their enclosure. With other drive manufacturers you can remove the HDD from the enclosure and attach it to a USB Adapter or put it into another USB enclosure with a power adapter. In your case, it sounds more like the USB controller inside the Enclosure has failed. Does anyone know what else I could possibly do aside from the three last options above? I would greatly appreciate your help! Thank you!!Ĭlick to expand.All Precious files should be kept on more the one HDD in case of disaster.Īny abnormal sound from a HDD means the HDD has failed or is about to fail.
I really don’t understand how the drive malfunctioned when I’ve taken so much care for it. Send it to WD Service Center (will they be able to recover my files though? If possible, I would not like to try this option because of the possibility that I will lose my files) Send it to a data recovery shop (although that will cost me a lot)Ĭ. (Will I still be able to keep my folders and file names using this method?)ī. Reformat the drive and use testdisk’s Undelete tool so I can retrieve my files. I actually have the following remaining last options in mind:Ī.

Tried updating the driver but still doesn’t work. I also tried opening it through Linux system using a LiveUSB but the driver didn’t show up. When I was able to check it in Disk Management, it says the drive is ‘Raw’. Would you like to format it now?” sometimes appears.

When I try it on XP or Windows 8, a message saying, “Device/IO failed” or “The device is not formatted. I tried using other laptops and other operating systems (XP, Windows 7, Windows 8) but the drive still won’t allow me access. Sometimes however it will show, “Code 1: The device is not configured” or “Code 10: The device failed/cannot start”. I checked Device Manager and I can see my drive and is saying that the hardware is functioning properly. Tried the external hard drive to other computers but still won’t work.į.

The hard drive keeps on blinking and you can hear some kind of a rotating sound. When I click it however, it just keeps loading for a very long time then a message will appear saying, “G:/ is not accessible. A drive letter will appear in My Computer. Just a week ago, it got broken for no apparent reason, never dropped, never unsafely removed, never soaked in water, etc. I have a WD My Passport 1TB which I bought two months ago.
