I own a 500GB WD My Passport 0703 external hard disk (USB 3.0). I was copying some files from my MacBook when it suddenly 'disappear' from my MacBook. This hard disk is in NTFS format so in order to let my MacBook writes on it I installed Macfuse and NTFS 3G. This happened before but my other laptop running Windows 7 (64 bit) managed to detect the hard disk, but not this time!
My Windows 7 laptop can detect the hard disk and decided it need to be formatted. However Windows unable to format it every single time.
I tried Device Management and DISKPART command but the application/command window hung everytime the hard disk is connected! TestDisk also seemed to take forever to detect the hard disk and when it finally did, no partition is found.
I'm looking forward for your kind help/suggestion.. It contains years worth of pictures and important work document
