July 25th, 2016

I have a WD My Passport 1TB and i have used it for about an year without any problem but now when plugged in shows the Hardisk(HD) as a drive but neither can i open it nor can i format it. It is under warranty and they told they will replace it but i have datas which very much necessary, can i ever recover it. i have tried using chkdsk and some recovery tools none helps. The matter of the fact is that recovery software doesn’t recognize my HD. . . Please help . .
Answer #1
External hard drive data recovery can be carried out by making use of one of the available data recovery tools such as Data Clinic or EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard. They do cost money of course. You also have free software such as; ADRC Data Recovery Software Tools and Disk Investigator. The last option is to take the external hard drive to a professional but it will cost money which will vary based on the amount of data that needs to be recovered.
Answer #2
Does it show up in disk management?
Is there a clicking noise when it is being used? Have you tried connecting it to another PC?
Data can normally be recovered as long as it is has no password on the drive

First of all i Thank both of u for ur invaluable time for me . .

I tried EASEUS, Recuva and many other softwares but no help.

Disk management is not shown unless i remove it and in that case after i re-insert, it is shown in MY COMPUTER not in disk management.
No noise.
Yes tried with ubuntu and some 5 other computers.
No password . . . The thing that if i can format is also out of the question i guess?
