I've read through a lot of posts that describe my problem, but it seems that mine is slightly different from the rest. My drive is still healthy, spinning, and it's so frustrating! The hardware: Western Digital My Passport 1 TB The problem: Before it became unrecognizable, I was trying to move videos to the external hdd. Long story short, the hdd became unresponsive several times until Windows was unable to recognize it when I plugged it in again. I've tried on two different computers (one running Windows 7 and the other Windows 8) and they both cannot find it. Attempts: I've right-clicked My Computer and selected 'Manage' to see if it would show up under 'Disk Management'.

I've tried Recuva, iCare, and EaseUs - all of them have showed no space available on the drive and no files to recover! I've tried running chkdsk on the drive, but of course it says that the drive doesn't exist. Honestly, I just want to repair it to see if that would sort through the corrupted files and 'make it all better' but I don't know what I'm doing!

Thanks for the reply lonewolf7 I was about to go through the link you sent me, but before I did that I thought about just hooking it up to my old PC desktop which still had XP on there. It was the last computer in the house that didn't have Windows 7/8 on it, so, what the heck - I gave it a shot. HOLY FRICKIN COW. My beautiful workhorse of a computer was able to open the drive as if nothing happened.

Granted, it was old and slow, so I didn't really have much faith it would do anything. But once the Autoplay window popped up, I started having hope. Then a window opened! I'll report back once I have confirmed that all my files have transferred to a new external hdd!
