I am in need of any suggestions/advices on how to Restore my entire 2 TB of vital data from the WD Book External HDD.
I had been using it as normally on my MAC, but then one day it stopped being recognized and then it has been failing to recognize it on the MAC. I never used it on Windows though.
Hence, I would please and please request anyone to suggest me what is to be done with this in order to get my data back!

Sorry I am bit confused. When you say “My Computer” is this a Windows machine? Or you are saying that drive is not listed under Disk Utility window on Mac system? Let me share one example: In the below image the external USB drive is greyed out (unmounted). Is this the case with your drive too?
Don’t initialize the drive until the data has been recovered safely. I think you might not have backup? Did you try any data recovery software on this external device? You can also consider some generic tips that might help.
Of course I will not do that ‘initialisation’ as it would erase the data…but then yeah, the things that are mentioned under the “generic tips” — I shall try them out and let you know in here.
