Many of us must be having their collection of photographs on hard drives, and even maintaining two copies on separate drives, as we have often heard about external hard drives getting corrupted and all data lost. I maintain two 1tb hard drives to store images (as a lab top with high storage gets exhausted sooner or later) and another 3tb drive to store backup (which I did not carry to USA). yesterday the hard drive storing all my images refused to open. In my new widows 8 laptop it would show only disc letter but refuse to open. In my older windows 7 laptop pop up window would come up with only option of 'FORMAT'. I tried different leads but no help. I was worried about what would I do for next 5 five months, especially Family fortnights. As a last resort I searched Google for the problem and after two commands the windows was able to read the drive and went through a procedure of more than 12 hours to enable the drive to work properly.
