I plug in my external hard drive (actually an internal harddrive being used as external) - WD Blue 4TB into my PC's USB port. Windows identifies it recognizes a mass storage device has been plugged in (tells me it can run faster by plugging into a faster USB port), and my anti-virus recognizes it as a connected external storage device. However, it doesn't appear in explorer. I am using Windows 7 64bit.
I do into the disk management utility, and it does show up as "Disk 1, Removeable (E" but "No Media". I can't do anything with it but change the drive letter. Properties:Volumes indicates 0MB capacity, 0MB Unallocated space and of course 0MB Reserved Space.
Fair to say this drive is dead?
