Unknown and Not Initiated Drive
Hello Admin/Jumanji/Fellow readers,
I need help regarding my HDD problem. I have WD Element 1TB external HDD. While working on my system (HDD connected with laptop) accidentally my HDD slipped from table, stuck on chair and HDD get disconnected from laptop ( USB cable get detached from HDD end though another end still connected from Laptop) and fall from let say 2-3 feet on floor.
Now when I connect it from my laptop, Disk Management display it as Unknown and Not Initiated Drive. USB symbol with Green check appears in System Tray. But in 'My Computer' no drive appears.
When I connect this with my computer, HDD makes a Click/Tick sound multiple times in small interval and after few (40-50 sec) vibration/spinning of HDD also stops. If i eject my HDD using safe remove option from System Tray icon. It starts vibration/spinning again.
I also try Mini Partition Tool version 8.1.1 to initiate my disk again with Parttion wizard. But PW does not list my Disk in available Disk list on system.
TestDisk also not able to find my external HDD. I also try 'Partition Find and mount' software which display my drive with 0KB size but it does not list any sector or readable area in it.
I'll Post the Screenshot of Disk management soon.
Please help I have such precious data in it.
Regards,
Rahul Jain
