External Hard drive not accessible
Hi,
I haven't needed any help for a long while now but I need some ideas now.
I have a client that uses a Mac and has given me two external WD hard drives. One works and I can't access the files on the second one.
He wants me to move the data from the hard drive that isn't accessible to the one that is working properly. I am using a PC running W8.
The non accessible hard drive powers up, spins and isn't making any unusual noises.
I have attached 2 Disk Management screen captures. One of the working drive and one of the non accessible external HDD.
Obviously I would like to repair the HDD without losing any file that may be on it. Disk Management only seems to give me one option and that is to delete the larger of the the three volumes.
Thanks

I used Rindi's Paragon link \ program and was able to access and look at the disk which was in fact a Mac format. Great program by the way. A bit confusing in that, once installed, it runs in the background and you don't realize anything has been installed until you plug in a Mac drive.
I might have to use Nobus' suggested fix but right now the corruption looks to be limited to a few files.
You people are great.
