1. done numerous times, no good
2. When you plug it in, its not coming up in file explorer. The strange bit is, if I click on the eject safely button, something is there and I can click to eject it.
3. No
4. The information on it is not super critical, but I wouldnt mind retrieving it. I had this cowboy look at it and he rambled on about costing $550 to do half the job or $1200 to do the full recovery (or at least recover as much as possible). I didnt feel comfortable with this guy so I didnt pursue it. I also rang WD support and they gave me a similar cost estimate.
5. No idea
6. I have windows 7, can try starting in safe mode and see if it reads then.
Cool.
Given you can eject it, that means the computer is seeing the device.

Try some of these steps.
Im guessing you may not get far if the cowboy has looked at it, and is willing to charge you for a recovery.
It can't hurt to try this link, and also, the heating cooling thing.
Sorry i cant be of more help.

Thank God it's not super critical GTC. I sync 5 externals (using PCs with XP (I must use XP due to Outlook Express) and 7) as my stuff indeed is important.
But really warming to see how such a small community can unearth such a wealth of knowledge
Kudos

Is it an external hard drive that you has a shell you can crack open?
First thing you can do is try and move the HD to another external unit. It could be something as simple as a dodgy cable. I've had that problem before.
Everything else is pretty well covered.
