Your western digital passport 320GB still on the process of recieving and downloading files. Maybe at that time you disconnected the 320GB. In order to get alive this 320GB hdd, you need to open the enclosure and remove the SATA HDD and connect that to any desktop computer with has a SATA connection. You may need to reformat the hdd in order to use , because the files was corrupted already.

hi, I got WD passport external drive 160 GB. I seldom use it for running or opening a file. I have valuable data inside memorable pictures of my family and kids rowing up. But when i open it up, it can no longer be detected. Lights on but only ticking sound maybe its a clock ticking inside. When i plugged it a prompt appeared says the hardware is not installed and sort of corruption and now it cannot be accessed or detected by my laptop. can anyone help on how to repair this or maybe just recover my data? Thanks...
