Damaged external hard driv
Closed
Hello,
I own a 320GB Western Digital My Book External Hard Drive that I dropped on the floor. After this happened I have tried on many occasions to get the device working. When I plug it in, the green light still comes on, and the computer still makes a sound when I connect it up to the USB port to indicate that it has recognised the device. However, the icon for the device does not appear on the screen, and I cannot access the files. Can you shed any light on whether the problem maybe fixable or if not, is it possible to extract the files? Thanks, Jon
