I have 9 3tb My Book 1130s. Yesterday ALL of them stop being recognized by windows. (7 and 8)
I do not have them all plugged in at once. They are back ups.
To resolve this:
I bought a new powered USB hub for 3.0.
I have swapped out all the cables.
In device manager it shows.
WD SES Device is working.
In disc management it shows the drives as uninitialized and can not be made Online, nor can I access changing their drive letters. "Device is not ready"
There is NO WAY ALL 9 drivers failed at once.
I contacted Microsoft and they said I had to contact WD and WD said I had to contact Microsoft.
I have spent countless hours going though every post and suggestion to no avail. I ever updated the firmware on one of the drives. Nothing.
Please advise me on this as I am desperate. These are work machines and the data and their back up are not replaceable.
