Hi Lachlan,

Before you go rushing out to buy SpinRite, the usual trouble-shooting rules apply here. Try a different computer to access the WD drive. Try a different USB cable and/or port on your computer. Is it externally powered? Try a different power supply if you can. Can you hear the drive(s) in the enclosure spin up when the power is turned on?

I have a lot of respect for Steve Gibson, and SpinRite is an excellent tool. However, it make sense to check the basics first.

Data loss sucks. We've all been there and we've all lost data.

Regards,
V
