External Hard Drive Problem

[UrBaN963]

Let me try that out, I don't have a Mac or know anyone rich enough to own one *insert sad laugh*

Lol. Some companies have them for work.

I have had my WD Elements 2TB for 2 years and still going strong.

To think I gave my boyfriend the WD Element external drive I had.... :crylaugh: maybe I should demand it back

This is most certainly a hardware problem unfortunately, no software is really going to give you any joy.

We could recover it for you at a good price if there's valuable data on it?

Or it became a hardware issue eventually, should have been run while it was still showing as a item in Computer.

Just some series that can be downloaded again... How much is a good price though?

Ownership? Are you on the admin account on your PC?

If so, right click on the start button, Disk Management, does your drive show up? You can try right click and delete the partitions and then try format from there, otherwise if you just want the drive you can try a diskpart clean (can walk you through it, it is pretty easy)

I would write a sternly worded email to the supplier demandi... Oh Wait.

Yes I'm the Administrator, the drive does not show up.... I will try diskpart out and see if it works....
