We have a WD Elements 1TB HDD which suddenly isn't recognised by Windows and we can't access it. However, when booting to Linux Mint Live on USB, I was able to copy some folders that we needed, but one folder wouldn't copy completely, so I had to copy the files individually.
When using chkdsk /f h: in a command prompt, no errors are found and the option to format is available. However, before doing that, I wonder if anyone could shed some light as to why this may have happened and if the problem can be sorted without a format.
Also, why Linux has no problem recognising the disk, but not Windows.
I've used Linux to rescue data on many occasions, but have never fathomed why that's the case over Windows.
