You would need to go to disk management and then see if it is reporting as a mass storage device in the machine. If it is then it is likely that the drives problem is a MBR (master boot record/partition record) problem that can easily be fixed with something like a remote recovery. The other option is to run data recovery software on it and you should be able to tree the hard drive, move the files off, repartition/reformat, and move the data back.
#Pc not recognized my book essential 1tb driver
MY BOOK ESSENTIAL 1TB DRIVER DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE If it is not being seen in disk management then it is likely a communication problem with the USB enclosure (box holding the hard drive) and the computer. Usually popping the enclosure open and then slaving it or putting it in a new enclosure fixes that problem. I bought a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 1TB External Hard Drive in July ’09. I moved ALL my music, photos and personal files onto this hard drive. My CD-ROM drives quit working right before I got this….so I had not gotten around to “backing them up” on discs. STUPID-I KNOW!!!!Ģ weeks ago it just quit working.
I used it in the morning and in the afternoon, it wouldn’t work.
It appears that it isn’t getting any (sufficient) power. It does not show up as an available drive when it’s plugged in. Is there ANY POSSIBLE way for me to get my files off of this thing? I plan on sending it in to get it warranted-but I want to recover my files first. Ok, so like the above user he eludes to the face that it just isn’t showing up. It really could be all of the above fixes.
