I find that my external hard drive (Western Digital Desktop drive) is inaccessible. When I try to access it through Windows Explorer, It does not show the device at all. The HDD is detected by the device manager in disk drives.
The HDD is not detected in other 2 computers too. tried in a mac and windows laptops.
I ran CHKDSK. At the beginning, it gave me the following message: "Warning! F parameter not specified. Running CHKDSK in read-only mode." It claimed to fix some things at the end of step 2, but it didn't help.
Device Manager thinks that the device is running properly.
I rebooted the machine but that didn't help either.
I ran chkdsk/f as suggested for one of the similar problems in another thread, but for that lucky guy, the drive was visible in windows exploreer.
Any ideas?
Pls pls help me a it has all my important data in it.
