URGENT – Removable HDD do not show either explorer or Disk Management

by n chou . Updated 16 years, 2 months ago

Hi, I’m new in this forum, I have been trying to search over the internet for the possible solution to fix the subject problem, here is the sympton.

One day while I’m using my BenQ laptop (I have 2 OS Vista Ultimate version & Windows 7) working (w/o battery connected) with my removable HDD (connected thru the USB port) all in a suddent there was a power outage (of course my laptop was off), so I unplug both power adapter and USB device, after the power resumed, I started up my laptop in safe mode, everything looks fine, then restarted the laptop and boot up normally, also everything looks fine too. But, when I plugged in the removable HDD into the USB ports (I tried all USB ports & changed different removeable HDD cases as well as using different PCs), the system only can reconized the USB Mass Storage device, but no matter I check from explorer or check from Disk Management, I still cannot see this removable HDD, even worst when I tried to use either explorer or Disk Management to find this removable HDD, it will freezed the application for very long time and nothing response???

Since I have important data(s) inside this removable HDD, please anyone can help me to know how I can read it and retrieve as much data(s) as possible from this removable HDD??

This is URGENT, please help! Thanks very much!
