Hello everyone!
Having some problems with my WD External Hard drive (320GB) - for some reason, out of nowhere, the drive is saying I need to format it before use - but I've been using it day to day for about 12 months with no issue!
My computer can SEE the drive, but suddenly doesn't Auto-Play it - and I'd prefer not to lose all my data!
When I tell it NOT to format, the computer either tells me the drive is not accessible, or that the files are read-only (which they aren't!)
Any ideas on how I can explore the drive without having to format????
(I run Windows Vista)
Thanks in advance!!!
