Western Digital Elements External HD doesn't show connected on PC?
When I connect the external hard drive to the USB drive on the computer the drive doesn't show up. I heard this could be a platter that has gone bad. Is there any thing I could do to fix this problem or get the data off of the external hard drive?

Have you tried another computer and/or another USB port? this could be caused by plenty of other issues as well, i.e. bad wiring, bad connection, failed circuit board as well as a failed drive. Data recovery can be expensive and is not easy to do for the DIY'er. So look for the things that could be done by you.

I have a WD 4TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive, USB 3.0 with the same problem. I've only had it for 13 months and the other day it just stopped working. Tried it on numerous computers. It shows up under disk drives, but not disk management. I've done everything I can think of, but can't get it to be recognized. Is there any way I can retrieve my data or get it to work?
