First hard drive I've had fail on me, need some advice on what to do next. It is a WD Black 1.5TB, but it's only a year old and is still under warranty so I can RMA it. However I was wondering if there was any way possible to retrieve anything off of it before I send it off? Currenntly running the WD diagnostic tool to make sure its actually faulty, but I'm 90% sure it is.
Update 1/23: It seems I spoke too soon. As of last night both drives would seem to have gone on me, I can't even get past startup screen (windows insignia after boot order). CHKDSK for the drive I thought crashed before, the WD 1.5TB storage drive, had 50 or so files that were unreadable. But like I said now the drive with my OS, the Vertex2, isn't working either. Would there be anyway this could be virus/malware related, or just really bad timing? I'm completely at a loss for what to do next...
