WD Err 'Not Initialized'
Posted: 17 Mar 2012, 13:38
Hi,
I am having 'WD Elements' of 1 tb, using for more than a year, without any problem.
Suddenly, it stopped working, yesterday. USB detects it, but MyComputer doesn't show Drive Letter. And Disk Management shows as 'Not Initialized'.
'Data Lifeguard Diagnostic' (diagnosis s/w) from WD, says Pass for Quick Test.
When tried with 'testdisk-6.13', it complaints for 'Read Error' for each cyl read, following is the log.
I am having Vista Enterprise (SP2).
My WD came pre-formatted, most probably NTFS.
Appreciate the help, as HDD contains efforts of 4-5 years.
