hi there tomshardware saviours. I have a problem with my WD External 1TB hdd, whenever i plug it into my laptop (Acer Aspire E1-522 running windows 10) it freezes it up, as soon as i unplug it, everything runs smooth as water. I cant access anything on it as it shows up as "Local Disc E:" i've tried formatting it, chkdsk even running EaseUS to recover things off of it but again, freees up and all i get left with is a not responding message and it shuts off. I've tried opening it in Safe mode with the exact same results HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
in addition to this when i run chkdsk wit admin privileges, it comes up as my hdd is in RAW format and not NTFS. how can i fix this?
Also NOTE> There are a few things on it i would rather not remove however if i have to then i will with no regrets.
Cheers!!!
