Hey guys, I have a big trouble here.

 

I have an external hard drive WD7500, and it worked fine but just 2 days ago, something happened and now I can't access to anything inside it.

 

First, i try lsscsi

[0:0:0:0]	disk	ATA	  Hitachi HTS54161 SB4O  /dev/sda
[1:0:0:0]	cd/dvd  MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-850S  1.10  /dev/sr0
[2:0:0:0]	disk	WD	   7500AA External  200i  /dev/sdb

 

it founds my external harddrive WD.

 

Then I try to look for it in partition table with diskdrake, then the result is

ERROR: asr: reading /dev/sdb[Input/output error]

Then. I try to connect it to Windows Vista, in Disk Management section => it shows: Disk 1 (Unknown): Unreadable, 698GB Unallocated.

There's no other options for me to do anything like: Format, Create New Volume, Initialize Disk (MBR/GPT) ..

 

Then, I try to connect my external drive to another computer using Vista, in Disk Management => it shows: Disk 1 (Unknown): Uninitialized, 698GB Unallocated. It gives me the options:

1) Initialize the disk: I try this one, and choose MBR but it went to errors "This request could not be performed because of I/O device error"

2) Create A Simple Volume: I try this one, and the same error appeared.

 

=> Thought of driver, I tried to reinstall driver, update .... none of them worked.

 

Can't think of anything, I try to connect to XP, well, XP doesn't even recognize anything.

 

And then, I tried to connect my external harddrive to MacBook, in Disk Utility, it recognized my drive, however, can't format, can't do anything over it because they all give the same error: "Resource is busy"

 

....

 

Again, I tried to look for solution, thought of hardware problem: power supply, adapter, cable, connection device .... but it isn't.

 

I don't really know what to do now ....

 

Please give me some help, a little hope that I know I can survive my drive...

tks scarecrow for reply.

 

It's just an external harddrive with an adapter for power and USB cable.

 

I also suspect this adapter, somehow, if I only connect the power to the drive with connecting with turn-off computer, it's getting hot (just warm lightly, not hot).

It didn't happen like this before.

 

Could you think of any idea for this?
