I have a WD My Book 1130 that was working fine. I had it disconnected, and when I tried to plug it in and use it my system hung up. The drivers will not load, the drive doesn’t show up in Disk Management. I have tried everything to get this drive to come on line. The next step is to send it back to WD since it is still under warranty. But I don’t want to send it back with data on it. Any suggestions on how I can get this drive to work, or how I can make sure my data isn’t recoverable before I return the drive to WD?
Check if the My Book is at least recognized by DLG so you can write zeros to it.
