Re: hard disk failure

Ok, this is wierd.  When I go into the resource monitor to see what programs are running I do see that WDDMservice.exe and WDDMstatus.exe are both running and are apparently both running normally but in disk management, there is still no evidence that the passport is connected.  Is there any way to start a program or task that would "force" the computer to see the drive or am I just grabbing at straws?  The only other suggestion I have been given is to try the drive on a mac since that is the only computer/OS that I have not attempted to use to see my passport.  Do you have any other recommendations?  Thank you very much!

Try going into services and disable the WD drive manager and rebooting.
