Repair Westrn Digital Passport

by CitizenKen Sep 17, 2007 5:51AM PDT

I have a WD 160 GB Passport, and it stopped responding. It does not show in "My Computer" on any of 3 machines. I have over 100 gigs of files (I just backed up my computer and wiped the drive). Does anyone kow how to take it apart, and move the actual drive to another WD (which I'll have to buy)? I can't bear to think I lost it all.

Actually.

Any USB case that supports the IDE or SATA drive that's inside the passport should do fine.

The case is 1/2 the parts so that's what I change first.
