I own the WD My Passport SE 1TB device and its format is FAT32 without smartware and here’s what happened.
Nothing really happened from 24 hours ago till today. It didn’t move an inch, not at all. And suddenly, when I plug it into my USB port, it starts beeping and the light is flashing constantly. After about 2-3 minutes, it stops beeping (Windows has detected the drive already as My Passport 0740) but auto-play doesn’t open nor is the drive visible in “My Computer”. The device status says “This Device is working properly”. When I eject the drive (not by unplugging the USB), the light is still flashing (since it’s still connected to the USB).
I don’t have a clue about what’s going on. What’s wrong and how do I solve this problem?
I ran the WD data lifeguard dianostics and here’s what i got:
Something’s wrong, “Capacity: 0.00 GB”. Hm…
