These older Western Digital MyBooks had bad components fail on there I/O cards inside the enclosure, your drive is most likely ok just the hardware failed. You can repair the board or put your drive in a Generic enclosure.

I have used this software and it worked. Paragon Partioning Magic http://www.download.com/Paragon-Partition-Manager/3000-2248_4-10070089.html Apparently the space on the WD was unformatted and unallocated, so it wasn't visible. After partitioning it, formatting it and allocating a drive letter, it workds like a charm.

How do I download pictures to my computor? I tried to use a cord to the USB port. I am using VISTA software on my computor.

If you have a usb connection from your phone to your pc and windows has recognised and installed all the necessary drivers, then go to my computer and you will see it appearing as a different drive there. Browse the drive and transfer what ever files you want to keep on your pc, whether it be an image, or a video etc. Hope this helps.
