The hard drive in question is a Western Digital 1TB internal HD, which was working fine this morning until my download manager crashed as it was saving a file to the HD. So I restarted and then the problem occurred. It doesn't look good after a few google searches but windows is still managing to detect the file size and volume name (well it appears and disappears).
I cannot access any content via windows or CMD/DOS. I've only had the western digital 1TB for around 1year/1year half which is very disappointing. It is 85% full with a lot of data.
Is this a lost cause or should I think about sending it off for a professional to look at? I hear they can be very expensive. The worst part is I was about to order another hard drive to act as a backup but I didn't have the money at the time
