Last year, I bought this HDD. I left it connected to my pc 24/7 (I heard that modern HDDs automatically go to sleep after certain period of inactivity. So this shouldn't be a problem.........right ?)
And yesterday, my window couldn't detect the HDD(the blue LED light was lit up).
Naturally, I unplugged it then plugged it again. Then, the LED light didn't lit up and window couldn't detect.
So I rebooted my pc. Window now detect the HDD(it shows under the disk management section) but I can't access the data.(Can't see any partition).
Already Tried
-uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. (driver installed successfully. But still can't access the partition)
- plugging in another pc.
but nothing change.
My hard disk current status
- the LED light doesn't lit up. <--- This worries me the most
- No clicking noise.
- I can still hear the spinning sound.
- No physical injury at all.
What might be the problem ? Was it overheat from continuous connectivity ?
And most importantly, how do i recover/extract my data from that state ?
