Ps4 isn’t recognising my extended hard drive after unplugging it by accident, had lots of games on and worked perfect before?

domdavis194 · Feb 11, 2018

So my hard drive had most of my games on and it was fine until it unplugged accidentally whilst on ps4, now all games aren’t downloaded and my ps4 doesn’t recognise the hard drive , can anyone help as I have too many games for my PS4’s storage alone ?

You can test your HDD on PC and see if it gets recognized, you might not damaged it, but in worst case scenario, you destroyed your HDD's motherboard.

Will it work on a Apple Mac

Well if you have adapters that can connect try it, if it shows up and shows error (because of force unplugging) fix it, simple scan.
As if it doesn't show up then it might be something else.

It’s not even saying I’ve plugged it into my Mac so I don’t know what to do

Does it spin up? If not then you probably damaged the motherboard as i've said in first place, all of your data is lost.

I’m going to try my hard drive on a windows laptop and see as it might be because of it being Mac

It seems to be beeping then stopping the. Beeping does this mean anything ????

I'm hoping the drive suffered a logical failure rather than a physical failure. You might want to locate, consult a local data recovery person who can walk you through what is necessary to bring the drive back to life -- if it's only a logical failure. I'm at school, so I'm not able to do any walk-throughs; others here may be much more helpful than I.

Sorry for not responding.
I searched and it seems like your "head" that reads data is stuck to the "plate" which contains data.
Try to shake it left right of the hdd < - > (this "-" is HDD how you see shake it like <>).
If not then it might be that the "head" is gone off HDD "plate".

Redownlading might be pain but this is only an suggestion and i don't have experience at all.
