I bought a Western Digital Elements 1.5TB external drive a few months ago, which as worked fine. I always disconnect it properly, etc., but when I got home today and plugged it into my Mac, it failed to be picked up by the computer. The drive seems to be working fine and in Disk Utility it's registering, but indented icon beneath the drive (UNTITLED--I never named my drive) is grey.
I called WD and they told me something is wrong with the partition, and that it needs to be re-partitioned. Thing is, I have a lot of material on the drive which I can't replace. Too much to have backed up elsewhere in a lot of cases, and I really want to get it off. Does anyone know how to do this? I was told there's software which can help me.
I called a data recovery place and they quoted $400-$1900 for the recovery. Ugh. Please, someone help!
