Yesterday, I was copying files over to my hard drive from my laptop. They finished and I unplugged it, I re-plugged it again 20 minutes later to add more and it was never detected. I plugged it into my girlfriends laptop and that didn't detect it either.
My hard drive is an Intenso 2.5" memory station 640GB.
The problem is, well that is the problem. I don't know what's wrong with it! I've done a lot of research, is it clicking, find it in disk management, chkdsk it to repair it etc. and none of this seems to work. chkdsk was the closest I got to making progress but that crashed half way through and was taking hours with an error of "An unspecified error occurred (696e647863686b2e".
It spins up and makes the sound from the laptop that it has been connected the "bod-dum" sound. The green light on my hard drive flashes whilst it's in, so it must be getting power.
It has now come up in My Computer as Local Disk H: and when I double click on it, it takes ages to open (the bar loading at the top takes forever to get to the end, sometimes hours) and then would come up with the message "H: parameter is incorrect, this drive is not accessible". Also sometimes when I double click it explorer crashes, and another thing, when I shut down the computer with it plugged in it gets stuck on the 'Shutting Down...' screen.
Any help would be appreciated, all I need are my files off of it, photos dating back to 2012 are on there. If I can retrieve these somehow, even if it leaves the hard drive unusable I would be happy.
Thank you all in advance.
