Hi everyone,
My external hard drive 1TB Western Digital Elements is suddenly not readable anymore, on my Macbook Pro, but also on PCs under Windows and Linux. It appears though in Disk Utility, or in the ejecting tools on PCs.
It looks quite bad, as the drive is seen as read-only and unformatted. The "Verify Disk", "Repair Disk", "Erase" buttons in Disk Utility are all greyed out.
Is there any hope that it could be a repairable issue rather than a critical mechanical failure ?
Thank you very much in advance for you help !
