    Hello,
    I have a WD My Passport 1TB portable drive.
    A data backup has always been stored on the disk. Currently, after connecting to the computer, you can hear that the disk is working, the LED flashes, but does not completely detect the disk. Checked both on Windows 7 64bit and Linux Mint. How to "bite" the problem and recover data from the disk?
    I've attached a screen with CrystalDiskInfo.

    Have you checked it on another computer? When connecting a drive, listen to the characteristic sound of connecting USB devices in Windows? He also does not have discs in disk management?

    If it's an external drive, I'd start by checking the disk on another computer. If it still will not be detected, without the second pocket of the external drive, you will not rule out whether the disk has been damaged or the disk pocket with the USB adapter.

    Give a screen from Disk Management, i.e. My computer -> Manage -> Disk management.

    Proven on four computers.
    The sound is heard when connecting.
    Disk management is, but when you try to initialize, an "I / O device error" pops up.

    The drive has a USB 3.0 micro B connector built-in, so I do not have the option to connect it in another pocket.

    I will post the screenshot after 16.

    After all, it can be seen that in Disk Management it will be visible without a partition (possibly only initialized or not). The partition table of this disk has sprung out, but rather something more and the lack of an array is the result of a failure. Show screen from DMDE from window view partitions after selecting this disk from physical devices (probably I / O error). To check on another USB cable yet. An attempt to initialize is the worst thing you can do - never initiate a disk after losing data.

    Exactly as a colleague writes above. Upload a screen from the DMDE program. All you need is a demo version.

    Only that 95% of this screen will not be thrown, or it will be empty after ignoring messages, because problems with disk initialization do not bode well. Jenak will wait for the information from the author.

    I throw screenshots from disk management and DMDE right after starting the program and after clicking ignore all errors.

    It does not read the disk completely. On another USB cable the same effect? Sure, at home, you will not get much of the disk with this disc.

    Tested on three different cables. Without result

    You will not do anything yourself - if the important data is a specialized service.

    So I have no chance to make any attempt to save my data on my own? Poorly..

    On linux, it does not detect the disk after connecting.
    I do not know about linux, so I do not know if there's any way to check this drive through the terminal.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a WD My Passport 1TB portable drive that is not being detected by both Windows 7 and Linux Mint systems. The user reports that the drive powers on and the LED indicator flashes, but it fails to appear in Disk Management, resulting in an "I/O device error" when attempting to initialize. Various troubleshooting steps are suggested, including testing the drive on multiple computers and using different USB cables. The importance of not initializing the drive after data loss is emphasized, as it could lead to further data corruption. The user shares screenshots from Disk Management and the DMDE program, which indicate issues with the partition table. Ultimately, it is suggested that professional data recovery services may be necessary due to the severity of the problem.
