Is there any way to recover data from a WD external hard drive? When I connect it to my external enclosure it lights up but doesn't spin or make any noise. When I connect it to my laptop it's not being read. When I initially bought it I had Windows Vista, I know have Windows 8. I tried downloading drivers for it but that had no effect either. I've been to a number of Data Recovery sites and they want astronomical prices to recover the data. I know there's gotta be a simpler - less costly way to retrieve my data. I have, docs, phots, executables, tutorials and who knows what else on it. I really need to get this data.
