Hi
I have an external WD HD that my windows XP is failing to recognise.
Found testdisk a few weeks back - ran it & windows was then able to find. I then started to move files over to a replacement drive ( a very slow process )
Anyway, last night the HD has again failed to be recogised by my PC!
Have used teskdisc again ... the program just hangs - i then unplug USB cable & testdisk recognises the drive but therefore too late as I have unplugged. If I replug in then nothing again Photorec is the same.
The HD is deffo spinning & cables are Ok
Any ideas??
Testdisk only recognises external HD when I disconnect !!
