ok, i have 2 externals so i will start with the first one. i have a western digital wd1066 hard drive that i put in an external case. it was working fine until about 70gb, (it has 160gb of space). now i cant get my laptop to recognize it. i was using it to go between computers from home, school and work. now im screwed. it has everything on it. i purchased this one because the other one died. i thought it was the heat and it melted, but thats not the case because i can run a diagnostic on it but my computer used to give it a "drive letter" but now it doesnt...how can i fix this? any help is appreciated.
