ok so im running my hd looking to see if a firmware update and a driver update was available….there was, and i ran a firmware update, and at first i thought i had all devices which do not need to be plugged in because of possible driver or whatever corruption unplugged so i ran the update
this had the unfortunate side-effect of killing my wd portable drive
i forgot that i had my 360 wireless pc receiver adapter plugged in (lol, noob move there…..my bad) and that messed up EVERYTHING on my wd portable drive, basically rendering my wd portable hard drive into nothing but a giant waste of space
im trying to find ways to fix this problem, but so far, none have worked.
i understand that there is a similar question to this and has been answered, but i simply don’t trust programs that look REALLY old….. and end up recovering the data in separate folders (which is not the goal for my problem, i want it restored to when it was before this problem occurred) so im trying to find a way to bring my wd portable hard drive back from the dead in tip top shape, as it was before the entire thing got wasted, OR if possible, turn it into a portable hard drive with nothing but a lot of storage space.
please help me with this and i will try to fill in any missing pieces that you might notice in my dilemma
my drive is a 320 GB western digital my passport essential portable hard drive (in a green casing….. chose the color so i would be able to find it if i lost it…..the color stands out, that’s why)
