Hi guys. I'm in a very very very big trouble, and I need your help. I have a Western Digital 150 GB External Hard Drive. I have only about 60 GB of all kinds of info on it. Earlier today, I was working on my computer. I was surfing the net, I had my hard drive turned on. All of a sudden, my power went out. I was sitting here with no power for good hour. But that's not why I'm writing, since my hard was on when the power got shut off, very next time I was able to turn my computer on, I also turned on my hard drive. But nothing happened. I ran a command in my RUN menu: diskmgmt.msc, in that program I see "Disk 0" and "Disk 1". Disk 0 is "Online/Healthy Disk". Disk 1 is "Unallocated". What do I do for it to operate as it was before? I can't afford to loose all of the data on it. Way too much!! What app I can maybe use to retrieve it from there?? Thank You all for your help!! A Very Big THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Moderators - please move this post to a right place for it, as I have no clue where else to post this! Thank you

Try connecting the drive to a different pc to see if it works

Thanx for your help. No it didn't work. Thanx for an advise though.
I fixed this problem by doing a research on this subject on Google, and found a solution. And the solution worked for me!! I used a tool/application called "Easy Recovery Professional 6.03". It's by Ontrack. It solved the problem. I bought another and better external, that doesn't use any external power other than from the USB it's plugged in to. And even if I unplug it (computer loses power – same thing), so if this happens again, I don't loose anything again.
Thank you for your help!!
