I have a 2TB WD Elements External 2.5" HDD which stopped working suddenly this morning.
There no click sounds or anything. It is not getting detected in my computer but it is being detected in Disk Management and gives the following error.
I still have a warranty of 70 days remaining on the HDD.
But if possible i want to know if there is any other way to make this drive working.

@vivek.krishnan Hey man please give some advice. @Black_Hawk recommended your name. Please help me out.

I get this in the Disk Management:

If I do go to the next step I get this error:

Is the USB Port faulty here?
Also I think I have lost the bill. Will WD Still RMA my HDD?
 
If it's being recognized like that, it's not likely to be a USB cable issue. Most likely it's bad sectors in the partition table or file system preventing it from mounting.

Unless you need data recovered, I'd just RMA it.
 
Hey guys, thanks for the replies. The Data was not that important to me so I sent it for the RMA and got a new HDD as a replacement 2 days ago. Apologies for the delayed reply.
Thanks everyone.
