Probably not the right answer for your problem. Mine is an external 1 TB Simple Drive. Mine wouldn't respond at all. I unplugged the power cable from the back of the hard drive and replugged it in and instantly it worked (with the computer and hard drive plugged in). I had tried rebooting the computer, plugging/unplugging over and over into the computer and that didn't work.

My computer doesn't recognize the WD book

Hello,

Several things can be done. You can try DIY software, assuming you have enough free space on your computer and it's a minor failure this may work.

Second, the enclosure itself may be failing, you can try moving the drive into a new enclosure, to do this take the drive to a PC shop and ask the technicians to test the hard drive in a new enclosure. If the drive works in the new enclosure you're set, if not move on to the next step.

Finally if you don't want the risks of the DIY method and the new enclosure fails, reply back with your location(Country, State and City) and I will be happy to refer you to a pro near you who can assist you with the process of recovering your files.

Hope this helps FixYa,

Chris

Help!! Western digital 500gb external hard drive ticking noise

Yes. This is going to sound strange. Put the drive in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer. Next day, take it out, hook it up, and see if it is recognized.

If so, under My computer, right click on the drive - click Properties - then Tools, then Error Checking. Check box Automatically Fix File System Errors. Let it run. If everything shows up, be ready to transfer wnat you want off of it.

Freezing shrinks the metal parts . Microscopically, but often enough to get stuck parts free enough to get working.

I just went through this with a 750Gig Book. now i have reformatted the drive (after transferring all over to new drive) and the clicking is gone and all disk checks are fine and i wonder whether to trust this device ever again... Hate to just throw out a large drive.
