Does not test the Master Boot Record!! Please help Anyone know how to rebuild the Master Boot Record without formatting so I can save my files and backups? WD Utilities shows drive is ok when those tests are run. Searched everywhere how to rebuild Master Boot Record only so I don’t loose all important files on WD Drive. Can see files but not restore due to corrupt WD External Drive corrupted Master Boot Record. Windows popup says “format drive”? Disk Mgt shows drive as unformatted. Now cannot read files folders on WD External Drive. Read directories just fine, then Acronis locked up, had to force power off after pulling USB on WD External Drive. Shut down system and tried again, same error. Then errored when trying to update last backup, said “cannot read file”.
WD Drive plugged in USB after Acronis loaded (in DOS mode). Shutdown and restarted with Acronis to perform PC Backup as usual. Never a problem with it until the other day! Copied files to it successfully. I have a Western Digital 2TB External Hard Drive, USB.
