Hi guys,
I’ve got a “My Book Essential” WDBAAF0020HBK 2TB External hard drive.
I did a low level format on it using “HDD Low Level Format Tool”.
Now my drive is unusable - it’s slow, and copying files back and forth is impossible.
I tried to use Data Lifeguard to fix the drive - but it comes up with an error so will not work.
I’ve tried windows format, and a few other format tools/software – but they either report a drive error, or don’t fix the problem.
The drive was fine before the format (i formated it to try and remove smartware), is my drive now permantly messed up – or is there anything i can try? Maybe amother WD software that will reset it all to default???
Should i try and fix the drive in the enclosure, or take the hdd and plug it in internally?
Cheers for the help.
