hi
this is dheeraj kulal. is been a year i’m using the WD My Book Essential(500GB).
its been a very bad experience using this device for last few weeks and now i’m paying for it.
I lost all the data from my book. Still i dont know why did that happen, and i’m sure that mistake was not from my side.
The scenario was like this,
-
I was using Windows XP and 250GB HD. OS got crashed (frequently), so i decided to format the entire 250GB.
-
I used Ubuntu Maverick CD to boot the system and then copied all data from the system to MY Book(500GB).
-
I already had Nearly 200GB of data in My book. i copied nearly 230 GB of data from my system to My Book.
So the total data in My Book is nearly 430GB and also checked whether files are properly copied or not.
-
Later i format 250 GB of the system and installed XP.
-
Then i connected My Book to PC, it was shocking only few files are visible and the files i copied are missing. Then i checked the property of Book, it’s showing 430GB is filled and only 30GB of space is available.
-
tried few recovery softwares but no result
dnt know what to do. i dont want to lose any of the data. those files are entire collection of my life…
