I've been using a WD 500 gig hard drive (My Book) for almost two years with out trouble for work and personal use. Recently I was copying some large video files from a laptop to the WD drive. Something happened during this process because it stopped at some point and I needed to reboot the computer. After this incident, the WD hard drive is now seen as a local drive on any computer I connect to and the only option I have is whether or not to format the drive (which I know I don't want to do).
I removed the HD from the it's case and slaved it with the same results. I downloaded a demo file recovery program and could see all the files on the HD so I assume the drive isn't terminal. The results from one scan of the drive indicated the boot sector was corrupt and I don't have a back up.
Can this drive be saved?
Thank You!
