Western Digital Complaints &amp; Reviews

Address: Mumbai City, Maharashtra

My laptop suddenly couldn't load windows from my internal western digital hard drive. I replaced it with a new hard drive and put old wd hard drive as external to try to recover its contents. Windows detected it as drive e but couldn't read its contents. Tried recovery programs such as GETDATABACK and TESTDISK. The problem is these couldnt even detect the old wd hard drive. What can i do? Please help. I really need those files...

Hi. I have a Western Digital external hard drive with files in two of the three partitions. I formatted it for OS X a few years ago before adding these files. Now I am trying to read these files on a Windows 7 laptop. Many of the threads I read said to "assign it a letter to see your files." The only way I could do that is to create a New Simple Volume. Did I make a big mistake here? Now that I did that, my Apple won't read the drive,...

I recently had some trouble with my computer. I got it all fixed, but now my 4TB hard drive is not working correctly. My computer recognizes that there is something connected, and it knows the name of the HD, but it won't let me access or format the hard drive. I attempted restarting my computer several times, and downloading the drivers from the Western Digital website, but it still would not work. Can you suggest anything for me to try?...

I have asked for help having purchased the above. The final email that I received after a cursory initial response is an extremely poor response to a customer. As i work in the industry I find it arrogant and dismissive. If you seriously want to retain a customer I think that you do need to review your approach. I am now left with a machine that is not fit for purpose. The email is cut in below. Dear David Stone, Thank you for contacting...
