Hello Sir,

You have a macbook! To use this hard drive, you simply have to format it before using...

To know more about this process, just click here:

This is the apple official website to explain to your about formatting your external hard drive

Thanks

WD Elements External Hard drive

Hello,
I recently dropped my boyfriends WD Elements 2TB external hard drive. It dropped from a height of about 1 yard onto carpet. However, once he connected it to his Mac Pro Laptop it wasn't recognized in the my computer section. He has very important data on that drive. When he connects the drive through a USB cord the light comes on and it makes a faint zipping sound like its trying to read. Is there a way to retrieve the data ourselves, or is it physically damaged and we'll have to pay an arm and a leg to retrieve the data off the drive. We were quoted min $900 to $3,600 max, and I just don't have that kind of money.


Please help!!

Red light on my Western Digital My Cloud NAS drive

Hello, I was wondering if anyone would be able to let me know how I might be able to extract the information from this drive. I can hear the disc is not turning anymore so I thought about taking it apart and see if I can get it to spin but I have never done that with a heart this before. If anyone knows any videos or software I might be able to use I would greatly appreciate the help. My entire family’s many years of photos and videos are on here. Thank you

My hard drive isn't spinning, and I was hoping someone could tell me how to get the data off of it. I've considered taking it apart to see if it still works, but I've never done anything like that before. If anyone has any videos or software I could use, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your kind words.
