my 2 tb external hard drive after connected to my laptop but it’s not recognised. How can i recover it? is my data lost?
There could be various reasons for an external hard drive to become unresponsive or undetected. It can be a hardware issue or some technical issue in the software.
Below are the few possible reasons for any drive being unresponsive:
1. A Lot of bad sectors

4. Mechanical failure
You can try the below options to resolve the issue:
