computer does not recognize external hard drive

I have done what you have said. However, the same problem persist. Please advice. Thank you.

 

So you get the same problem if the drive is running inside the computer?

 

Yes. Same problem as the one I have indicated in the previous post. Any helps will be good. Thanks.

 

Hmm, it sounds like the drive may have failed. Not sure who to suggest to have it repaired.

 

So means i have no way to recover anything inside?

 

Well, if the data on it is very valuable, you can have it repaired/recovered, but most people charge mega $$$ for that.

 

OMG... Thanks for ur help anyway. At least I tried...

 

It's not written in stone that the drive has failed though. As a last resort i'd try both tests with someone else's PC as well, before you declare the drive needs recovery.
