Need a Method To Extract Data From a My Passport External Drive
My sister has a 500 GB My Passport that no longer shows up when attached with a USB cable to any computer. We've tried different cables and different PCs. The drive always lights up and gives that slight vibration and warmth that indicate it's connected. But it never shows up in Explorer or Manage drives.
My sister really needs that data, so I opened up the case and removed the drive, intending to attach it via enclosure to another PC. The drive itself is a Western Digital WD5000 and where the SATA connectors should be, is the socket for the other end of the USB cable. It appears to be permanently attached to the drive.
Anybody ever run across this scenario?
