Hi, my Ext. HDD: 1TB MyBook Essential (WDH1U10000-00) is gone all of a sudden.
It will not show up in My Computer at all, so I have no way to access it. I tried to connect with different USB 2.0 Cables (short/long) and diff laptops, PCs but it is not detected any on env.
In Comp. Management, it is shown as Unknown - Not Initialized and there is no partition bar on its row shown as in below picture links.

Any idea for resolution?
Note: OS: Win7 and followed stesps of FAQ: External hard drive no longer shows up in My Computer and data can no longer be accessed all is done (except step#7, not needed)
I can provide more logs screenshots, feel free to ask
Thnx
I`ve been using this Ext. HDD for 6 years and have important data inside of it. I dont want to lose them. How can I fix this issue?
I cant even see its Vol. in TestDisk software
After watching Youtube videos and Googled articles, I felt that, If I go for Initializing a new partition from now on, all my data will be lost, right?
(Nearly same issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeEBpquaoIM)
So, how can we proceed for resolution without losing any data?
