Below are some people’s experiences on data loss from their external hard drives.

1. I have a 1TB external hard drive which had been working well all the time but suddenly my computer can’t detect it without any reason. I restart my computer but nothing helps. The blue light on the hard drive is on, but I am unable to open the drive. I need help to get back the data on the drive because I have all my wedding pictures inside.

2. My Western Digital external hard drive is no longer detected by the computer. I plug the drive to my computer, I can’t find the hard drive on "My Computer" but the hard drive can show up on "Disk Management". Is there any way that I can recover the data, or even better I can get my external hard drive work again?
