Same problem here!!!

Windows 7 stop working.

In my case it look like it's the UBS adapter is not ok...

I move the cable and the light comeback, and some time the "Disk Management tool" can see my HDD, but can't initialize it.

I want PassPort to answer the question. That's why I'm here.

My passport WD was blinking and beeping. Now it's only blinking. Hasn't happened before. Truth is I barely ever use my computer anymore. After almost 30 years I'm almost totally out of Microsoft but I have lots of files & pictures there I'd prefer not losing.

You need WD Smartware. When Passport asks for password put in the wrong password 5 times it will then ask if you want it formatted say yes. Then it will work fine. You will lose all info on the disk but have functioning disk.
