Answer» My disk don't open photo below : I Have many Important documents & data on the Disk Please any way to repair this problem without delete my data? 500GB Western Digital Not that it is necessarily going to solve the problem but try removing it and temporarily connecting it to ANOTHER computer. Configure the pins to reflect it being a "slave" if not already so. See if you can access it that way.You don't have to actually INSTALL it in a bay just connect the cables. truenorthdone connecting it to another computer same problemSorry we can not help you. Could you please tell us how OLD the drive is and where you got it? And is the drive part of an external USB enclosure or is in an internal drive for a desktop? We have noticed that some people are reporting problems with WD drives and just curious about your experience.The first thing to do is to check the disk for error. Run chkdsk.exe utility that comes with windows for a start. Open the command prompt (if you are running Vista or 7 with UAC enabled, open with "Run as administrator"), then execute: "chkdsk e:". Although chkdsk might not be able to repair the problem, but from its report perhaps you will get a clue what the real problem is (e.g. bad sectors).Quote from: Luthfi on February 22, 2011, 07:00:39 AM The first thing to do is to check the disk for error.

It serves absolutely no purpose. The correct command is chkdsk e: /rQuote from: Allan on February 22, 2011, 07:15:15 AM Running checkdisk without the repair switch is useless. It serves absolutely no purpose. Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't chkdsk stands for check disk which means its MAIN purpose is to check disk for possible errors? The repair option is added. That's why you have to specifically add the /r switch. So what is your ground stating that without /r chkdsk serves no purpose?I believe the answer is that, without /r, chkdsk merely provides a report but does not fix any errors. Still, some users may want to just run chkdsk to get the report first. Correct, running checkdisk with no repair switch does nothing to fix any problems it may find. It serves no useful purpose. If you want to fix potential problems you run it with a repair switch.Quote from: Allan on February 23, 2011, 06:16:20 AM Correct, running chkdsk with no repair switch does nothing to fix any problems it may find.

However, it does have a purpose. Yes, running chkdsk without any witches is of limited use. This utility does work the head across the platter and the user may note sounds and activity that may or not be normal. That could be enough to find an error. So the error might even disappear after the head has worked across the surface of the disc. And that is not as rare as you might think. Drives are designed to behave that way. |
