And who told you this was a common problem, fixable by some DIY solution that is easily followed?

I can't remember reading much about WD drives showing these symptoms. So it might just be hardware problem of your particular drive, that is not easily fixed, but needs opening the drive and replaceing or repairing some of it's part inside.

The accuracy of your crystal ball is amazing!

We don't even understand what the problem is and you already know that the drive has to be opened?

Come on, kang roy has obviously some problems in expressing himself in English what he wants to say, (and he seems like attempting to start a data recovery business learning from MSFN as he posted in two days about three different make/model failing hard drives):

and some ununderstandable (at least for me) comments on data recovery related threads:

the only advice we can give right now is:

@kang roy

Please try to express better what you have to say, try using an online translator from your language to English and viceversa, if noone can actually understand the problem, you will never have an adequate advice or hopefully solution.

Where are you from?

What is your native language?

You misunderstood my posting I'm afraid!

All I said was that there's no simple solution to ANY hdd problem out there and that it MIGHT be that a pure software solution can't fix the problem. That's what I meant.

I posted that, because it seems that after the Seagate desaster, a lot of poeple tend to think that there is a simple solution to all hdd failures.

Yep.

I know :

But you cannot "counterattack" against voodoo with some more voodoo , from what we know the answer to whatever problem kang roy is having is "a suffusion of yellow":

http://www.thateden.co.uk/dirk/

there is no way to know if (choose one)

• a simple DIY solution exists
  
• a non-simple DYI solution exists
  
• a "professional only" solution exists
  

AND if:

• any of the above include opening the drive or not
  

unless we know what the problem is.

I didn't say he shouldn't try to see if there was a simple solution. In no way did I mean that. But, this was just meant as a warning. There are no known big firmware BUGs, AFAIK, for the Western Digital drives. I might be wrong, I just don't know of any.

I'm no professional in this field.

As you said, without further details from his side, any help will be a guessing game.

[kang roy]

the drive is WD mypassport 320 GB and it works perfectly on my laptop, But my desktop computer can not access it. The device is shown in both explorer and device manager but not shown in disk managment consul. same issue with checkdisk.

What solutions?

[jaclaz]

It is a drive connected via USB, isnt'it?

Which OS does the laptop run?

Which OS does the desktop run?

Have you tried connecting it to a different USB port on the desktop?

Have you tried thoroughly cleaning the Registry of the Desktop?:

From what you report, it seems to me quite logical to presume that if device A works when connected to device B and fails when connected to device C, the problem is with device C, and NOT with device A (the WD hard disk).

The device is shown in both explorer and device manager but not shown in disk managment consul.

That's impossible, if Disk Management doesn't see the drive than it's not fiscally connected and/or recognized by your computer (not enough power to the drive my guess, so sometimes it could be seen but not accessed).

It must be indeed like Jaclaz said something in between computer and drive; Now, do use your that cable with the 2 USB connectors to get more power to that drive, also, if your motherboard is just USB 1.1 it could have problems detecting the USB 2.0 device although it should be backwards compatible.
