I have a Wester Digital external USB My Passport Hard Drive that stopped working. I'm wondering what I can do to try to get my data.
When I hook the usb cable to my computer the light on the HD blinks, you can hear it spin and a clicking noise.
I
get a pop up that says new hardwar detected or something like that at the bottorm right corner of my computer but when you open My Computer it does not show the hard drive.
Aslo if I hook up this hard drive to my DVD players usb port it also does not recognize it.
I took another cable from another passport that I have and hooked it to the non functionong HD to test the cable... Same thing happened, so its not the cable.
What if anything can be done?
