I've got a WD 500gb passport that uses a password to access it. The other day after entering the password it came up with an error message. I went to the western digital website to down load the drivers etc as I thought this maybe the problem. After doing this the drive is no longer even recognised!! I've tried different computers and usb leads but get nothing. When I pull it in my laptop it makes a noise to say that something is connected but thats it.

Any ideas anyone? This is an important drive as it contains all my pics and important info ie bank login details.
