hi
Driver Description WDC WD32 00BPVT-00ZEST0 USB Device (external hdd)
Problem with this device is that has started working very slow, but only after I plugged it on a notebook that had booting problems, also some hardware problems . I tried several software's so far trying to diagnose the hdd for bad sectors and not only.
One of the software's I used it's called Hdd Regenerator, the result was a fail, the end message displayed by the program after 6 hours of scanning
was just another error. So I remembered to check on the western digital home page for help, were I ended up downloading an utility called
" Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for Windows " which shortly after starting it indicates that the drive doesn't have the s.m.a.r.t capability enabled..
I underline that the hdd has data on it, I don't want to lose.
Thank you
