If it's under a year or so old, or up to 3 years if you bought a real hard drive and put it in a case, it may be under warranty. go to western digs website and check the warranty. If it's dead, the best advice I can give is don't by WD again. Stick with Seagate ;) It’s probably hosed, but try hooking it up to another computer.

There is a manufactered date on the label. If you go to the WD sire it will tell you how to send it in for replacement. Most WD’s have a 5 year warranty. There is a manufactered date on the label.
