Hey everyone!
I’m a music producer who was using the WD 2TB MyBook as my main drive.
Everything was going perfectly for about a year with this thing… I will admit right now, that I’m an ■■■■■ for not backing my files up, because this wouldn’t be a problem if I had done so… Anyways, I was having a VERY similar problem to this:
But my problem, specifically is this:
I went down to do a freelance gig… I typically run PC… The stuio I was working at used all MAC. I plugged my drive in because I wan going to work on previous work in my off time… The mac wouldn’t recognize it… That’s fine, I figured… It’s probably just not formatted for MAC. I then walk away for about 15 mins, and when I come back I find out somebody unplugged my drive without ejectin it… **bleep**!
So I get home… I plug my drive in… And as expected, there’s a problem… My computer won’t recognize my drive anymore!! It won’t show up in my computer, it doesn’t make a sound when I plug it in… It is NOTHING to do with the cord, my computer, nothing simple… I’ve paid 3 local guys to look at it, and they’re just idiots, I guess.
Anyways… It DOES show up in the device manager however… I just cannot access the files… I bought an identical drive (but 3.0) so I can transfer files from the bad drive to the good one… But These guys are thinking it something to do with a boot sector…
Also, I have it loaded up with nearly the full 2 tb of information… I read somewhere that the exact model I use only REALLY works up to 1.5 TB due to its formatting… That’s **bleep**ing stupid, if you ask me!!!
Any help beyond this point is more than apprecaited.
