Q: WD External Harddrive
:-(
The WD My Passport doesn't show after I accidentally pulled the cord without ejecting it properly.
Has anyone else had this problem and can the data on the HD be recovered...it has my daughters show on it!
Many thanks for your help.

- Does it show in Disk Utility?
- Does it show in System Profiler under USB? You should see the chipset in the enclosure as well as the HD itself
OS X: About System Information and System Profiler - Apple Support
If is shows in Disk Utility then first try repairing/First Aid via Disk Utility.
If still not accessible via Finder then
Try a disk recovery app:

you may be able to download a demo of Data Rescue 4, and the demo will give you an idea of what it can recover. If it looks promising, you then can buy the software.
