My WD Elements is showing up as having a 'fatal hard drive problem' in Recuva it show us as having a F; unable to determine file system type. I have been told that this is a logic error or the bridge is the problem I am just an old bloke that needs the files. On my PC in Windows File Manager I cannot open it but when I first tired to open it showed 0% used, I plugged it into a MacAir and it showed 100% used.
The drive is constantly spinning, there is no noise and the light will blink incessantly and at time is is solid.
Is it time to use a hammer on it or is there a way of accessing the data, thanks
