I've got a big bone stuck in my throat and I need help badly

My Western Digital 1TB External Hard Disk now appears as a local disk instead of a removable drive and when I click on it to open, I get an


"I:\ is not accessible

The disk structure is corrupted and unreadable" error message


I've got lots of important stuff on the External HDD so it's important I access it to copy my files I use a windows 8 OS and I've tried it on other PCs running Windows 7 & Vista, and it's still the same thing.

I'll be grateful for any help I can get towards resolving this. See my screenshots

Get a similar charger to check if it would power on.

The partition table is corrupt. Click on the above link to download the free trial of the software. Please. This is time to learn you don't keep files in only one location . Having backups won't hurt. The link below is a step by step guide on how to use the app.

semid4lyfe: Downloaded, so how do I use it
am mobile now. It involves the use of dos. Sorry too technical and since i can't run a prototype here to give you a step by step. I will advise you download this . More user friendly with the gui. Just scan and repair.

First and foremost, change your USB cable connecting the external HDD to your system with original one. Next, scan the external HDD for malware and remove any right-protection.

Then come back here with your findings.

Tried all these without success yesterday before coming online and I've done it again still no show. The External HD still appears as a local disk (RAW file), a format which Windows is unable to mount.

Good! Your ext HD problem is possibly coming from the tiny control board. Now open the external hard drive and make sure the control board is properly seated on the connector and try to use original USB cable to connect it to your system(don't cover the HDD yet while taking the process because you might want to tilt it and do other test). If you are still experiencing the same problem it is time to replace the tiny control board.

1. Right-click on 'Computer' and select 'Properties' from the drop-down menu.

2. Look beside 'System type' and report back with what you have there.

It is graphical problem that needs a customer care attention. Either the flex is getting weak or the power button is having some disturbing interference with your screen activities in a funny way. It could also be something else.

I would advice you take it to your customer care center for a hardware fix.

A friend of mine laptop Graphic card heats up. This has started
recently. Dunno if it is just dust, or heatsink
or graphics card issue. when the card overheats, the computer starts without displaying screen.The Laptop seems to work if the card temperature is low.
Sometimes the computer turns on
fine, sometimes it turns on with only the
power lights with no display.. What's the cause pls.

I doubt if its a flex issue, did ur laptop fall or was drop on a place anyhow?? Same thing happened to my hp g60 last year only to have a new screen to fix it.

Your graphic chip is possibly going out gradually. I am not going to advise to try a REFLOW but getting a better motherboard will do better.
