Hi there,
I've got a 400Gb external drive which suddenly stopped responding. I switched it off and then on at which point it started making an odd 'singing' sound and windows could no longer see it. Plugged it into a UNIX box and the disk stopped singing, the OS could see it but couldn't initialise it. Moved back to a Win 8 box and now it's wanting to initialise as a 2Tb disk. As is always the case this disk contains quite a bit of important data and I last backed up 2 weeks ago. Does anyone have any ideas on how I might convince it to come back or software I might try. Many thanks!
