Hello,

Check first if your external drive is detected by your BIOS.

If it is the case, try this:

Click on Start --> Run ---> type diskmgmt.msc and click on OK.

Right-click on WD Passport Drive --> Select "Change Drive Letter and Paths..." --->

Click on "Add" button ---> Select your drive letter and click on OK.

Note : If the drive letter is already assigned, then try changing the drive letter

by clicking on "Change" button instead of "Add" button in the above step.

If the solutions above does not work, think to change the cable of the drive.

Good Luck!

Go to a repair shop and purchase a new cable or you give you disk to a qualified technician who will probably retrieve your data.
