Try downloading the demo of Partition Table Doctor from <a href="http://www.ptdd.com" rel="ugc">www.ptdd.com</a>&nbsp;- it's probable that you've just lost the partition table information, this program should be able to restore it, but you'd have to buy it. &nbsp;You CAN use the demo to see if it will find the partition (no point in buying it if it doesn't see the partition).

Western Digital - unallocated space

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
