WD My Book 3TB Ext HDD - Unknown - Not Initialized
Hello,
New here to this forum. Been searching and reading for the past week trying to get my HDD to work.
I was able to access my external HD about a week ago, watched a movie off it and fell asleep. When I awoke the next morning, powered on my laptop, it wouldn't boot up so I shut it down and unplugged the HD and powered it back on. Plugged the HD back in, computer sees it but not showing in My Computer.
Within Disk Management, it shows Disk1 - Unknown - Not Initialized.
Searched and searched and searched for different solutions, tried different things and still nothing. I have tried PW but not showing up to be able to scan it. I have a docking station so I pulled the HD out and plugged it into that. PW was able to see it but no partitions found. Tried to run TestDisk (per some other help treads instructions) with nothing found.
I have ran EaseUS recovery, recovered some files but none which were readable.
I have lots of important files on this HD and I really need them. Sending it to a professional is out of the question.
I'm currently about to boot up pendrive and see if it sees anything there.
I can post any screen shots and try anything again. I have done nothing but scans scans scans.
Thank you!
