Hi!  I have a blue WD passport that stopped working.  When I plug it into my MBP, it doesn’t show up on the desktop.  I’m not sure what year it is, but I thought maybe the colour would help identify it.  It’s 300GB, and when I open Disk Utility, it is visable, but it says it cannot be repaired because of an error.  What should I do?  Is there anything I can do to recover the data on it?  I had saved a lot of photos on it that I really didn’t want to lose.  Thanks to anyone who can help me or offer advice!
