Whenever the drive is plugged in, my laptop makes that beep of a device being detected and my hard disk kind of hums like it used to when I was using it previously, occasionally there are some clicking noises but still the drive doesn't detect. ![]() I even tried disabling the USB selective suspend setting. In Computer Management, my disk is shown as Disk 1 unknown not initialised, and when I try to initialise it (MBR and GPT) it gives me an error message (The request failed due to a fatal device hardware error). ![]() The drive shows up on my Device Manager and Devices and Printers and everywhere it says "device is working properly". Tried troubleshooting but it says it can't identify the problem. Tried uninstalling the WD software and USB drivers and re-installing them but it still doesn't work. ![]() I tried using a different laptop, different cable, different ports. However, the next time I plugged in my hard disk, it wouldn't show up on my laptop file explorer. I've been using my WD Passport for like over a year now and 2 days ago while I was transferring files from my hard disk to another hard disk, an error message showed up that the files can't be copied and so I cancelled the transfer, ejected my hard disk and thought I'd try again.
