I had a Western Digital 320GB My Book bare hard drive in my dock. I took out this drive, Windows showed it was removed, I put in my 1.5TB Seagate drive and windows showed that a drive connected, but it named the drive My Book and said it also was a 298GB drive (the formated space of my 320GB) and it said the drive was completely full. I tried to explore the contents of the drive but it displayed folders with cryptic names and I couldn't get farther than that.
I tried hooking up the drive to a different machine and that machine now also sees the drive just as the previous. I can't access anything that was on the drive.
Any idea on what happened and how I can fix this?
I tried changing the drive letter and that didn't change anything. If I try to run Error Checking (going to properties for the HD, tools and clicking 'Check') on the drive it just seems to hang, never get any % complete.
If I hook the drive up to any other machine it has the same issue now.
Below is what my Disk Management looks like. You can see that what is now my Q: drive is what has the issue.
