I have a Western Digital 1 TB External USB HDD.
I have used it for some time.
One day, I was copying files from my laptop to the USB HDD.
It was taking for ever. So, I tries to cancel it. It wouldn't cancel. So, I disconnected the USB HDD by pulling the USB chord.
From that day, it is not working.
When I connect it will show it as a local-disk, but not show any details like size or name of the drive. It takes forever to open right-click menu and properties. Disk Manager takes for ever to show the list of drives. If I double-click on the drive, my whole system becomes slow and windows explorer hangs.
If I restart my system in Safe mode, it will show the drive in Disk Manager as RAW and it gives me an option to format.
I do not want to format it as I have some very important files in it.
Is there a way to recover the data and the HDD.
Please help.
