Hi, I bought a WD external HD and i've loaded most of my things on to it. It worked fine until i loaded all my files onto it. Now It will show up in my Safely Remove Hardware thing but thats about it. Under the properties it says "This device is working properly." but nothing shows up under computers. I've tried many different laptops. I've tried going to disk management and it won't let me initialize. It says "The drive cannot find the sector request" I have some important document in there and all my music and movies. I've tried WD's help, but it looks like they are trying to beat around. I don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi again

Its ok if it is a different pc. We just don't make alterations on a machine that the malware fighters are working on as well. Their tools, our tools and any other alterating may produce unpredictable results.

Well, since you are running Vista on this machine, CHKDSK should be performed alittle differently. Heres how;
