"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned..."

Ok I am going crazy here please if anyone can help I would greatly

appreciate it.

So im using a Western Digital External hard drive and its been working

fine until today. I tried to connect it and I got the error message "one

of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and

windows does not recognize it"

and when I tried to restart my computer it says installing new driver

software then it says software was not installed successfully. And when

I try to download the device software from the website it goes through

it then at one point it says there is no wd device connected and to

connect a device and rescan when it is clearly connected. I have not

done any updating or restoring or anything like that . I have no clue

hoe this happened but I have 80Gb's of all my music in this hard drive i

really need to get it back. plz help

Do you have a model number for the drive ?



Knowing the exact identity of the drive, is important for looking

for popular failure modes for it. It should be an ugly part number

like WDBABV0010BBK-NESN .
