I have been given a friends portable HDD, which has been dropped.
I believe it was on at the time, as he has it connected to his TV, and his partner knocked it off the unit.
I have removed it from the case, it is a WD20EARS (Western Digital) green.
I have it connected to a PC, in BIOS it is seen. In windows disk management, it is shown with no drive letter, and I get no options for anything.

Can I try anything else before telling him "Sorry mate it is shagged"
