First of all I feel guilty for asking a question without previously being on these forums. So thanks in advance if you can help me solve this problem (of which I have trawled these and many other forums for a couple of days trying to figure out a fix).
I have an external HDD. It froze and like an idiot I got mad and yanked the USB cable out. Since then it's been 'dead'. If any of the following information doesn't matter please ignore- I'm pretty novice with all this:
-Disk Management sees the drive as 'Not Initialised' and when trying to re-initialise it states Disk Not Ready.
-DiskPart sees the drive as 0B but cannot see the Volume.
-All the recovery software I've tried has failed to pick up the drive.
-I've tried connecting via SATA cable but nothing happens.
-The drive is out of it's enclosure and connected now via its own power and USB cables.
-I've tried all USB ports, both Mobo and case.
-I've tried to re-partition using a couple of different programs but it cannot see the drive.
Now the data on the drive isn't important, it's the time I've spent renaming thousands of files and folders. If at all possible I'd like the data back for that reason which is why I haven't tried a Clean yet. Is there any hope/something I haven't yet tried?
