Unable to access data from WD My Passport Essentials

I was earilier using usb 2.0 to transfer copy data to this external drive. Now i bought new laptop having usb 3.0, while i try to access data from this drive using 3.0 port it is asking me to format. If i try to access from usb 2.0 port, i am unable to transfer all the data. transfer is failing with status as unable to transfer. Also the transfer is very very slow. Please assist. Lot of my personal stuff is locked in that and am not able to access…
