I was doing a backup job on my WD mybooklive 3TB and it went offline with a solid red light status. I tried to reboot, soft reset the MBL with no luck with that and it is no longer showing on the network even if I scan the whole network. I tried to get the 3TB hard drive out of the case and connect it directly to the computer or by USB with no luck since it is not detected on Windows disk management or linux rescue CD gparted. I used more than 10 softwares but non of them can see the hard drive. Now once I connect the HD on the network I can hear a the sound of it and 2 clicks and then I feel like it keeps rebooting and doing the same 2 clicks. I am not sure what else I can do to recover the data since it is so important to me.
Yes, I tried R-linux, linux reader… other apps from hiren’s but with no luck.
When I connect the HD using the USB-Sata I can see the “USB-bridge…” as a hard drive but all the information is greyed out and unknown and I also cannot hear any clicks, but if I connect the HD directly to my PC I can see the HD is connected from the BIOS with name starting WDC…
