Hi! Would appreciate any help anyone could give me.
The other day, I was using my MyBook Elite and tried to extract a zip file on it. It didn’t work, stating some error which I can not remember. Then it crashed and I reconnected. This time, the external display on the Elite, did not show the HDD usage (which previously it did!). It just showed the drive name and that it’s locked.
I restarted it, unlocked the unit with my password as usual but then the usual auto run - Open Folder, did not pop up.
I opened up My Computer and it showed the drive but with no data on it. When double clicked, it was a long wait, and finally requests that I format it. Naturally, I have not formatted it. I tried reconnecting it to 2 other computers, but with the same problem. I turned it off and allowed it to ‘rest’ hoping that the ‘ghost’ 
inside will go away, but it’s still there after 2 days.
Seems like the MyBook doesn’t recognise that i still have data on the HDD (but there’s like >800GB) and wants me to reformat.
I can still access the WD software without any issues.
As with many here, I have irreplaceable personal data on it and am desperate to find a solution.
Thank you for any assistance!
