My Hard Disk Drive just got corrupted due to electricity fluctuation. When I plug my Western Digital Elements, It ask me if I want to format it or not... I can't see my files or even the capacity of my disk from it's properties. Is there any solution you would suggest? looking for a software that can give me access to my files. I just need to copy it then I can retire my Drive and will buy a new one... Thanks!

Same thing happen to me. With much trial and error I found that the USB connecting jack at the Elements end is not making properly. Try to enter the jack half way. If the drive light comes on wait and see if spinning starts and the arm moving is felt. If so see the drive is recognized and files are able to reed. In my case I cleaned the both ends with a sharp safety pin. Specially the drives end and drive socket projected pins with grooves.If these groove end plastics are not letting cable to connect properly or only power is connected without data lines this can happen. My solution if this is the case is to expand slightly the drive end jack, end metal cover joining parts slightly outwards to get a little good pressure on the drive side male projection part. | |||
