Do you have a recent WD drive?

"Western Digital is taking a conservative course by recalling the affected lot of this product," said Matt Massengill, Western's COO, in a prepared statement.

The faulty chip was incorporated into approximately 1 million drives manufactured between August 27 and September 24. Of that number, about 400,000 have been sold. Customers who believe that they may have a defective drive are being advised to visit Western Digital's site to start the process to obtain a replacement, if necessary.

Violetta, I think the best thing to do is to take it to a computer repair shop.

You said it's NEW, is it still under warranty?

Also, if your computer starts going weird on you for no apparent reason, check for a virus. I remember a problem I had a few years ago, one of my computers was loosing drives, I could not see them in Windows File Manager. It turns out it was a virus.
