Hello everyone who may read this. I have a relatively specific problem that I cannot find the answer to elsewhere.
I woke up one morning to find that my external hard drive had disappeared from my list of drives. I cannot access it at all. There was approx 2TB of data on it that I would really like to recover.
When I open the disk management window the disk in question does appear, but it is uninitialized. If I initialize the disk to bring it back online, will I permanently lose the data I want to recover?
Specifics:
Windows 8
Faulty disk is western digital mybook 3TB external HDD. The HDD inside is WD's green drive
Thanks for any help!
