wd my passport ultra disk does not show up after unlock

Just confused as obviously it is there on the Comp in devices (and on the other computer there is even a prompt to safely remove it, which wasn't showing on this laptop), I just can't access it. I tried clicking on the links you provided (thank you for the effort, I really appreciate it!) but all I could get was a redirection to blank internet pages. So I mean there should be someway to get into to as this Device installation wizard detected what it was and downloaded the right driver for it? Right? When I click on My Passport in Devices it keeps saying that it is working properly. I installed the WD SES Driver as there was a yellow triangle next to the HDD listed on the device manager (it shows up there). I have tried it on another laptop and again didn't show up in disk management or in My Computer. Not looking to recover the files (although that would BE GREAT), but if i can get it working again, even from scratch that'd be awesome.

Thinking it's a lost cause, but hoping someone on here can help me fix it. Oh it also makes a little clicking noise every now and then (awesome I know).

The HDD is not showing up in Computer Management. Have gone onto WDs website and downloaded the drivers from there and done the above step but browsed to that file instead of a random search. The driver wizard thing says the installation cannot be completed (cannot find the right stuff to install), as it searches for 'unknown' instead of 'My Passport' etc. Have tried deleting it from device manager and reinstalling it. It is flashing like its in use (again still not showing anywhere).Ĭan see it in Device Manager and Disabled and Enabled it after the message (device cannot be started) and now it reads that 'the device is working properly', which of course it's not. For a short time it popped up in My Computer but was very very slow at accessing it (realise its probs corrupted).īut now I have nothing.

Have run Dskchk a number of times, sometimes it would say its in use and asked if i wanted to run it as startup (which I did do). Plugged it back into my Comp and nothing came up (normally AutoPlay detects it immediately). Plugged it into our DVD player to watch movies and it didn't show up as anything connected. I unplugged it without 'removing it safely' (yes I know this is probably where the trouble it) and now I can't find anything. Use it mainly for movies, was copying a file to it and it froze. Have a WD My Passport 1TB and all was working fine. Sorry to be stealing the post, just hoping like minds can help me
