WD My Passport failed
Posted: 27 Nov 2017, 15:28
Okay, so I've got a 2TB WD My Passport which is just about 3 years old and it appears to have lost the filesystem. I'm currently on a Mac and I think it was unplugged rather carelessly. Needless to say, the next time it was plugged in it asked to be "initialized" and unfortunately that's exactly what I did.
That's when things began going downhill. I lost all my data and somewhere in the process the disk geometry has changed. And the drive is not readable. I've been running Testdisk for ages trying to recover the partition, find files, etc all to no avail.
Now I'm trying to 'Rebuild BS' but it's been stuck on this screen for over 24 hours. Any idea what could be wrong?
