"Cannot access or format External Hard Drive WD My Book Essential ",Western Digital My Book Essential 2TB Hard drive under a Windows XP OS. I normally leave my computer on stand by when I leave and this was no different on this day. When I returned to access my hard drive and play a music file, the program froze and I was prompted to restart. Upon restarting, I could not access the drive or my files any longer. The hard drive that normally showed up as "My Book (E: )" now shows up as "Local Disk (E: )" and I am unable to access it or create/replace files on the hard drive. As you will see in the picture below, my computer recognizes the device and it acts as if it is completely normal, except I cannot do anything with the hard drive. I have been using this as a backup storage unit for all of my files. I have been going through various sites for troubleshooting and downloading many data recovery programs (Recuva for example) has led to no avail. When I try this it only recognizes the C drive and not the E drive and anything that notices the E drive says it has no data on it. In addition, I have tried formatting and my computer will just not respond to the task and when I try the "start, run, chkdsk e:/ f" as adviced on these forums, I am receiving a notice that says "Cannot find direct access" or something along those lines. I should also add that there was a lot of lightning strikes on the day that this had occured. Do I need to take the drive to a data recovery place or just cut my losses and get a new external hard drive? Also, is it possible that my hard drive has an electrostatic discharge and its impossible to retrieve the data that is on my hard drive? There are no noises emitting from the drive and virus scans on the hard drive detects that nothing malicious is effecting the drive.
Formatting a disk for use by an operating system and its applications typically involves three different processes.High-level formatting is the process of setting up an empty file system on a disk partition or logical volume and, for PCs, installing a boot sector. This is a fast operation, and is sometimes referred to as quick formatting. Reformatting often carries the implication that the operating system and all other software will be reinstalled after the format is complete. Rather than fixing an installation suffering from malfunction or security compromise, it may be necessary to simply reformat everything and start from scratch. Various colloquialisms exist for this process, such as "wipe and reload", "nuke and pave", "reimage", etc. Sometimes, data present in the physical drives (Internal/External Hard disk, Pen Drive, etc.) gets lost, deleted and formatted due to circumstances like virus attack, accidental deletion or accidental use of SHIFT+DELETE. In these cases, data recovery software are used to recover/restore the data files. Logical recovery of files, partition, MBR and filesystem structures After the drive has been cloned to a new drive, it is suitable to attempt the retrieval of lost data. If the drive has failed logically, there are a number of reasons for that.Data damage can be caused when, for example, a file is written to a sector on the drive that has been damaged. This is the most common cause in a failing drive, meaning that data needs to be reconstructed to become readable. Corrupted documents can be recovered by several software methods or by manually reconstructing the document using a hex editor.
