External HDD not showing up in My Computer
Few days ago my External HDD started showing some weird behavior. It will crash sometimes when I copy/paste data to/from it. Usually removing and re plugging solved the issue (safe remove never worked after it'll do the above weird stuff, I had to just pull out the USB connector).
Then after some days, it finally crashed. I got an alert saying "Drive G: Needs to be formatted". I didn't format it of course.
Then after that, whenever I connect it, I can see the "remove safely" icon but it doesn't show up in "My Computer", and the green loading bar in My Comp keeps on loading and gets slower and slower as it reaches the end. (I find this really hilarious). Sometimes it does show up like in screenshot below
(My Ext HDD is "S:" in the picture, as explained below)
I tried changing the Drive letter after I read this
Here's a screenshot of Disk Management after My Ext HDD was renamed. But sadly the Disk management crashed at the end
Is there any way to get my data back ?
