Hi everyone,
I’ve googled this extensively but not really worked out what to do. Basically my 2 year old WD Elements 1TB Drive is not being recognised when I plug it into my Macbook Pro. It tells me it is not readable and gives me the option to ignore it, eject it or initialize it. I tried ignoring it, but then it doesn’t show up in Finder.
It does however show up in Disk Utility.
I’ve tried replacing the power supply and the USB cable, but this has not helped - same problem. I’ve also tried connecting it to Windows PCs, but it doesn’t show up there either.
I have moved my entire iMovie library onto this drive alongwith other important things, so I am really desperate to get to the contents of it.
I am struggling to know the best way to go about recovering the files on there, and I don’t have the budget to take it to a data recovery place.
Can anybody please offer any instructions to help??
Any info really, truly, greatefully received…
Thanks
Frank
