I can't open or view my data in Western Digital hard drive

Nov 25, 2008

-   Dear Sirs,

Accidently my External Harddisk WD(western digital) fell to the floor.After that I connected this external hardisk to my computer to see if i can access the file stored on the external harddisk but I cannot.

When i connect the usb cable of the external harddisk to my laptop the green lap is glowing..also when i power up the harddisk i can feel it working but later on when i connect it to my laptop nothing happens and i dont see the external hard disk in the drive list of my computer.

Could you please let me know if the external harddisk can be fixed or is it that the damage occured is permanent.

Will i be able to recover the data files from the external hardisk by some means

Please help
