No responses? Nothing?
Come on guys, surely someone can help me.
I admit my other post is a joke because I haven’t gotten a single response here.
In the meantime I decided to boot into Ubuntu and see if I could access the drive.
Nope. Not even showing up there.
Like I said this thing is brand new has maybe 5 hours of use at the most.
I dumped all of my important files. A ton of software and iso’s and such.
I last used it a few days before my previous post. I restored a friends HP dv6000 with
a custom Win 7 iso I had vlited and installed some of the software off of the drive for
her. It’s spinning up just fine. If I’m not getting enough power to it how was I able to
dump 200 gb worth of data before it decided to do this?
Also I should note that there were cord issues from day one. I had to set it certain ways
or it wouldn’t get any power at all. I saw another poster here describe something about
cord sensitivity.
I’m actually quite upset over this. Most of the stuff I have on this HD are irreplaceable.
Custom Windows iso’s I have painstakingly vlited to my liking, full phone back-ups, hard to
find documentaries and PDFs that will take me ages to find again if at all. I have looked
towards WD as a respected name in the HD industry for years now but I’m quickly losing my
faith.
As an individual who expects products to perform how they are supposed to if I’m going to
spend my hard earned cash on them and as a person who others come to for their computer
needs and advice I’m not so sure I can stand behind WD products anymore. I want to, but I
have to face the reality of the truth.
If anyone at all has any advice or tips on how I should go about recovering my data I would be
much obliged. I have Easeus data recovery software but like I said the device is not recognized
by windows, no VCD, nothing, and is no longer showing up in Ubuntu either.
