The power light is on, but the drive does not appear on Disk Management or when I type the drive letter at the command prompt.

Wd My Passport Solid Light But Not Working Professional Data Recovery

Any suggestions,aside from taking it to a professional data recovery company, or am I completely out of luck.

Please note that formatting the drive will delete all data stored on it.

I also tried connecting the drive to a laptop as well, with no success.

The drive does not show up in Disk Management on either the desktop or laptop, though it is getting power, as the light on the drives does come on when plugged in.

Any ideas on how I can get the drive to show up in Disk Management If I can at least get that far, I can troubleshoot, but until then, its just a paperweight.

My Passport was working fine until it wasnt being recognized by my macbook, and its not showing up in disk utility or anywhere else either.

USE the safely Remove hardware function when you unplug the drive from the PC.

If you have not been doing this it can cause the partition table to be destroyed and then you can no longer access the drive.

If you can not get the PC to recognize the drive your only choice is to use a data recovery company or RMA the drive.

Sorry but those are the only choices I hope you all can get your data back.

So sad that a Western Digital drive failed so spectacularly after only six months, especially considering I almost never moved it and always treated it with care.
