[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1060413, member: 46727"] Never store valuable photos or other data on any drive, external or internal without a backup. Drives can fail, even new ones. How is the drive formatted? FAT-32? NTFS? HFS+? If the drive is formatted as FAT-32 (unlikely for a drive that size) or NTFS, you might try attaching it to a PC to see if it can be read. If the drive electronics are damaged, the only way you're going to recover those photos is by sending the drive to a data recovery specialist. And that's going to cost as much as your computer - for a drive that size. Regards. [/QUOTE]
