Not all that long ago, I bought this drive:
1.5TB WD “Green”
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=772
However during a transfer process to a 2TB Wd Black drive, the drive suddenly became unresponsive. Now this drive held the majority of my files, and it is very essential that I recover everything, if not what i can.
I went into debugging mode to trigger chkdsk on XP and most, if not all of the record segments were unreadable, if not corrupt. When the drive is active, and within my array the OS will slow up and freeze at points, even upon booting. The drive retains it’s original drive letter, but not it’s given title, the title is what is set to be by default.
My question, for those that have had this similar problem(or are aware), is that does this generally sound like the Fried Circuit Board issue, to where the data is fine, and just not the board. or does it lie deeper than that?
I don’t particularly feel up to sending it into RMA just yet, considering I don’t have the data, and I’m not guaranteed in recovering it when I would send it in.
All assistance is appreciated, thanks. I will edit this as I stage progress.
