by ankurgarg.ism . Updated 16 years, 9 months ago

HI! all
Please help I have an external HDD of WD Elements Series. My HDD is not showing up in Windows vista and XP (even on Linux). It is showing up in (1) Disk Management as Disk1 Unknown and Unreadable (2) Device Drivers also show it as Hardware Change whenever i plug it.
(3) Safely remove also shows it but I cant access to disk.

I have tried different USB port.
I have also tried using different cable to connect.

Please somebody help me with this problem..I have a very important data..so dont want to format it. Plz help me..
