Kirsty. Go to the Western Digital web site and download their disk tools. You will need to install them on a floppy or on a CD if your computer does not have a floppy. Boot from the floppy or CD and you will be able to run a full diagnostic of the drive and probably restore it to working standards. There is also a utility for copying the drive to another which I have used successfully.
