It could be that the Hard Drive inside the enclosure still works, not sure if you care about voiding any warranty as opening it up will likely do, but there is a very slight chance that the Hard Drive itself will let you get the data off it. I am not sure what the connector to the drive is on the inside though as I have not taken one apart myself, :).

Testimonial: "Thanks a million. I think I will take it to a data restore specialist to see if it can be recovered. Thanks again!!"

Hi, You need to run updates for your computer. Go to start, program, windows update, run and install all the updates, look especially for any update for hardware, select it and let it install. Leave the My book attached to the computer while searching for updates. Good luck.

External hard drives don't need any program installed on your computer to run. Your operating system Windows, Linux should handle it as soon as you plug the usb in your computer. The programs included in your WD external hard drive are tools to backup your data.

If you try to hook up your hard drive to a Windows prior to XP, maybe your computer will not handle it.

It is always safer to safely remove your drive using the green arrow icon in the lower right corner of your screen. This way, the drive is shut down properly and you minimize chances of fails when you plug it again on another computer.

Hope this helps!
