Hello. This is my first time joining this site and asking this question. I need serious help. My HDD has been working fine for about 2 years now. 2 days ago, my computer refuses to detect my hard drive. It's not that it doesn't work. When I plug it in to the computer, I'd hear a notification sound and it shows that it's connected. However, the disk doesn't show at all. I've checked Disk Management and while it's there (as Disc 1), it says "Unknown, Not Initialized", nothing else. If I try to Initialized it, it'll say "The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error". I've looked up various YouTube videos and none of them gave me what I was looking for. It didn't fix the problem. The model is a WD My Passport 2626 USB Device. It's so frustrating and I feel like I'm at my wits end. There was a lot of data in that passport and I don't want to lose it, let alone, buy another one. The fact that it's connected to my computer gave me some glimmer of hope that there is a chance to resolve the issue. Through recommendation, someone told me to check this site for help. This is my last resort at this point. If anyone have any solutions, please let me know. Thank you.
