Hello,
I have a 1TB HDD of Western Digital(WD), which connects to the devices via USB and is powered using a Power Cord separately.
It connects and shows/displays/plays all the data on a LCD/LED television.
However,recently when I am connecting it to any PC or Laptop, it takes an enormous time to detect and even it does :
1. I cant access it as it askes me to format it when trying to 'open' or even 'explore'.
2. The 'properties' show 0 byte for both allocated and free space.
3. CHKDSK failed.
7. Changed disk drive letter as per : http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/271598-32-
external-hard-disk-format
8.Error Checking yields "The Disk check could not be performed because Windows can't
access the disk"
Can anyone suggest any remedy without the advice of formatting the drive...
as the HDD contains data collected over 7 years and which does not have a backup!!
