It is regarding my WD 1TB external harddisk.
The issue:- Accidently dropped from my hands(approx 1 feet height).
It worked properly for one day, but since day 2, I realised that my laptop is only detecting the disk and not showing volumes.(I can see in the disk management too). Disk managment is showing an error message called "unallocated".
My findings:
- If I navigate to computer management->diskmanagement->I can see the ("unknown disk-label name") of my HD with the size details. Also, I tried to place the cursor on the disk(my external HD) and right click and click any option, it displays "write protected".
My research: I downloaded EaseUS Data Recovery, icare data recovery, wondershare data recovery etc tools. But none of the tool recognized any volume of my HD. "volume not found" msg.(Its only detected External HD name)
So what I was thinking, since it was write protected, none of the tool will recognize my HD volumes? Or any other issues?
