Try connecting to a different USB port on your computer.

Try a different USB cable.

Try connecting it to a different computer.

If it still does not work, either:
* the USB-to-disk-drive adapter has failed
* the disk-drive has failed

If the former, open the case, and remove the disk-drive,
and temporarily connect this "internal" disk-drive as a "slave" disk-drive into any desktop computer, and copy all the files. Or, remove the disk-drive, buy a new "empty" external-adapter, and install your disk-drive into the new case.

If all else fails, search online for "Data Recovery Services".
These type of companies are expensive, but they can "recover" files from almost any hard-drive that has "failed".

I'm looking for a driver for my WD3200ME disk. Thanks!

No driver is needed for an external hdd. It may be needed for older editions of windows (before xp).
If the error is "there is no such drive or path" then you should replace your usb ports (in the pc).

Search online for a professional "data recovery service".
For a significant fee, they will repair your disk-drive, just long-enough to copy your "needed" files to another disk-drive.

Ext hdd wd3200me does not detect on my com.. Its using intergrated usb controller method..any suggestions..

Update the drivers for the communication. You can download from the manufacture's website of the EXT hdd.
They are usually under the download or support tab.
Just down the drivers, double-click on the file to install them into your pc, then restart pc then connect.

Need help with western digital wd3200me passport

I bought the same product, I noticed that connecting the device to the USB ports at the back of the PC body and using shorter cable solved the problem, try each of the ports at the back of the PC.
