I've had this hard drive in my computer for 2 years, no problem. A lot of my favorite games were on there and I used it so much. Now, its gone! Nowhere to be found! It was my E drive, but now it just doesnt show up! Look at this screen shot I will provide for proof. I haven't opened my computer up for a very long time, as it's perfect the way it is, in my opinion. Help?

about 2-3 years old. That doesnt answer my question, can I just send the hard drive in any box, or do I have to show a receipt of some sort.

Put your serial number here to check the warranty first http://support.wdc.com/warranty/warrantystatus.aspx?lang=en

you can use any box, don't need a recept, just a old drive.
