I have a WD external hard drive that has worked flawlessly since I bought it years ago. I also have Windows 7.
Yesterday a little window popped up asking me if I wanted to clean up some space on the drive and I stupidly clicked "yes". Since then I am unable to locate the drive on my computer. I researched this for a long time and even had WD tech service help me to no avail.
When I went into my computer to see if the drive was working, it says that it is working properly. However, I get a message that tells me I have to format the drive in 'F' if I want to use it. This means of course that if I choose to do this it will wipe out all of the data. I have thousands of files on this drive.
WD support told me to take the drive to a Data Recovery store.
Does anyone know how I can get my data off of this drive?
Luckily I have a backup drive but all of my music isn't on there.
Thanks.
