Problem with hard drive WD20EARX
I had for like an year an external drive, WD My Book Essential 2tb. Couple of days ago I opened it and connected the hard drive to SATA.
Windows didn't detect it and I initialized the disk. I tried to recover some information but no success. While I did this for over 12 hours I had no problem.
Now, I after I try to copy something on it , after like 5 minutes, the drive disappears. Windows can't see it. Other programs can't see it either. I need to restart the PC in order to have access.
I can't find a solution. I have the power option turned off for hdd but that's it.
Any ideas?
