My WD 4TB Hard Drive stopped working, I use it for watching movies and TV shows on my Samsung TV. Stopped working on my TV and won't show up in My Computer on Windows 8.

Shows up in Device Manager and Disk Management with out a drive letter and is telling me to initialize it. Its a fairly new Hard Drive and I don't want to lose all my stuff off it as it happened to me when my old Hard Drive died.

I can still eject it fine via the Safely remove hardware option in the toolbar.

Please help.
