I bought a WD mybook 1TB 3 days back. Since i was working with iso images i needed to reformat from the default fat32 to ntfs...using vista.... reformated whichtook forever and everything worked fine......transfered my entire years work to it......all ok......shut it down and went to sleep.
next morning......the damn drive just wont recognize......just an endless blinking......so...i said 'screw the warrenty' and pryed open the drive......my data was more costly than the drive....
it was a 1tb WD caviar GP drive........i plugged it in a spare pc which had sata interface and winxp......the drive is being detected but the partition is coming as uninitialised and it was asking me to format.
I ran a demo verion of Active Partition Recovery. which showed that all my data was intact....i was even able top recovery one file......
Now trying to recover 400gb of data to another HDD is just too time consuming... I reckon the partition data is only messed up. But I have no idea on how to recover/fix it.....
Can anyone help??
