I accidentally dropped my external wd passport hard drive and it still worked, but the next morning, windows 7 can't read it at all. Just tried R-studio and get: read disk failed cyclic redundancy check. (Yep, my backups will be done more regularly from now on!). Can anything be done please.

You can pay a data recovery specialist hundreds of dollars or just pay $80 for a new drive then re-install Windows on it and drivers and apps.

Sorry, I should have said, there's about 900GB of data on there.
