Yesterday one of my WD My Book 500GB external HDD crashed or something. When I power it on, everything seems fine until I try and copy anything off the drive. I get a System Tray Pop-up that says "Windows - Delayed Write Failed"

It's still under warranty but I'd like to get my stuff off before I return it. Is this possible?

I finally got everything off of the drive and now I'm going to wipe it clean and see if I can return it to Best Buy (with receipt). If not I'll start a RMA request in with Western Digital.

If I don't get anywhere with that, then I'll open up the case and check it out.

I'll let you know.
