WD My Passport HDD 1 TB Undetected

Options

‎06-25-2012 08:02 AM

Hi,  A few days ago I plugged my external hard drive to another computer and copied some files and pasted it there.  Now, when I bring it back to my computer, my pc cannot detect it anymore.  I have tried a few computers even a similar Ipad touchscreen devices with USB port on it and still my external hard drive is no longer detected.  I have tried the disk management on windows but still would not appear at all.  I noticed also when I connect this external drive my computer becomes slower than usual.  Any help/advise would be highly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!
