So my WD 'My Passport' (1Tb) died on me about 4 days due to a 'data cyclic redundancy error' or something along those lines. So I ran chkdsk, and just a few hours ago... My power tripped(of course).
Now, I can't even detect the drive to run chkdsk on it as it says "cannot open volume for direct access". So I googled it, was told to go to computer management, disk management, and look for it there. Well I found it, and it states the drive is uninitialized, so I tried to initialize it,and it fails due to an I/O error this time.
I'm just really lost and kinda panicy at this point. The data on it wasn't that important, but it will take forever(probably closer to months) to re-obtain everything I had and time is not something I have at this point in time (exams). So please, could someone help me get my data back?
