If you stored the data onto your WD storage unit the data is secured. In order to access the information, you may have to export/import the information back into specific programs. In other words, if you open WORD or EXCEL programs, go to the import/export file and attempt to rebuild your files that way. Secondly, if this doesn't work, you may have to access your files from your C:/drive prompts. If you're using a mac, open up iTunes and scroll to see where your WD is connected. If you can highlight the WD unit, right/left click or go to file, in the upper legend to see if you can rebuild or import/export the files back into your computer.
