Western Digital external Hard drive

by mezyounus . Updated 17 years ago

I bought a Western Digital hard drive (the model number is something like wxc806076780). It was working fine untill last week Now, when I plug it in I get a “Safely Remove Hardware” message, but the drive does not appear in My Computer and I cannot access it. I’ve tried uninstalling the driver and then re-connecting it; Windows appears to detect it (launches the
‘Found New Hardware’ popup) but it still does not appear. I tried this on another computer and the same problem happened.I did all the troubleshooting steps, it find every thing ok.
I used the same cable and same USB port to connect my camera that works fine. So, I dont know if it is my hard drive or some thing else. My computer has Windows XP

Thanks
