i was watching a movie and then my pc froze so i re-booted but when i went to go load the movie again i couldn't find my external hard drive and then windows had a pop-up message saying it had malfunction. I've spend a good 3 hours tiring to work out whats wrong i even tried it on a 2nd pc and still nothing. any idea if i can fix it or get my data off it ( i really hope i can as a few weeks ago my main pc crashed and i lost 500gb+ of data and windows 7 -_-)
