WD External Hard drive not recognized in my computer

Hey! Where can I find such a repair centre in Holland? I have a WD My Book Pro with the same problem. I have thousands of photo’s on it, only partly backuped on disks. For a year or so I didn’t have any problems. Than the misery begun: my computer (with Vista) did not recognize My Book now and than. It worked to pull out the cables and restart the computer. Recently it stopted recognizing it at all. If I had only read this and other sites with complaints about WD My Book before, I would have made a backup right away, when it still worked.

I think WD should  warn people for this misery in the manual and on their site. A ‘sorry’ afterwards in the forum doesn’t help people.
