Try this 1.
Check in the "Disk Management".
Click on Start --> In search bar, type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter.
"Disk Management" window will be opened. If you notice a partition without a
drive letter then right-click on it --> Select "Change Drive Letter and Paths..." -->
Click on "Add" button --> Add --> Select the drive letter --> Click on OK.
Good Luck

Thanks but nothing under disk Mangment.
Some times when i plug the drive it asking me to format the disk....but not all the time.
Needless to say i do not want to lose my data by formatting the drive.
Thanks for your help.

I strongly recommend you to check the drive on another PC and with another USB cable.
Try connecting the drive to a Linux OS. If you do not have that option, burn a Linux live version. It can be freely downloaded. Boot it from a USB drive and connect the drive. The drive might be recognized giving you a chance to backup all data. Let me know if there is any progress!

Thanks for the advice.
Linux dose not recognises the drive.
Another computer / cable dose not recognise it either.
How can i verify if it is the board or the Hdd?
If it is defective board/controller how can i get replacement?
Thanks,
Benjamin

After all the tests, if the drive is not even recognized on another pc and the cable is in good condition, I suggest that you have a defective drive.
If I were you, I would open a ticket with Western Digital on their support page.

I have dealt with WD support before and they provide good service.
Ensure to give all of the details on what you have done to solve the issue.
