Explorer hangs when WD portable HDD plugged in, help?
Other info:
Safe mode doesn't help.
Windows 7 x64 is what I'm using. I've tried it on three different computers and they all have the same problem.
Periodically it makes a 'ba-dump' sound that the computer usually makes when first plugging in USB if it's left plugged in, even though I'm not plugging/unplugging actively.
As soon as I unplug it, it instantly asks if I want to format the drive. But now it's unplugged so I can't..
Device manager also freezes when I plug it in.
I've tried various recovery softwares/partition programs, none can recognize that the drive's there OR they just freeze.
This is awful, I've done extensive searching and haven't found anything that fully resembles what I have going on here.
Please help!
