HELP: My Passport - found no writable partition

Hello

I don’t know exactly why but somehow I lost the partition on my passport. Over the weekend I tried with different recovery-tools to find out, if there are any files on my passport, but I wasn’t able to save them. Are there any special things to know to see the parition again?

Under windows 8 I can’t see anything (explorer) in computer management (file disk management) my passport shows black (not associated)

Any possibilitys to restore the partition / files?

Hello,

Based on the information you have provided seems like a case of data corruption. It may be possible to still extract the data utilizing data recovery software. Western Digital does not provide data recovery software. However, there are several kinds of Data Recovery software available. If you do a web search for Data Recovery it will yield plenty of data recovery software options.
