Hello! After two years, my WD MyCloud began to show a blinking red light. After reading that a fix for this is not possible, I removed the 4TB Red NAS drive from the enclosure and connected it to my PC via a powered HD adapter. The drive spins as expected, but Windows is giving me error messages 43 and 10. I've uninstalled the USB drivers/rebooted, disabled USB suspend settings, etc. Everything I've read about I have done. Even connected it to multiple computers.
My guess is that, because access to the drive was done using WD's desktop app via password, the drive needs that entry point. But again, the drive in its enclosure ceased to be recognized. My entire family photo archive is on this hard drive and I desperately need access to it. I have not tried connecting the drive while in its enclosure to my PC directly via ethernet or USB cable. I just figured the enclosure's functionality had halted. But I will try this.
Is there anything else I should be doing? Another method of connecting it? Maybe putting the drive in another NAS enclosure? Might a Mac recognize the drive? Any help you can provide would be hugely appreciated!
Thank you!
Eddie
