All the bubbles on the one side of the harddrive were all flattened/popped. I put the harddrive into the external case I got and it seems to be working; recognized properly in device manager. I havent formatted it yet because Im still reformatting this other external harddrive. Once its done Im probably going to drop this WD into my computer install vista, pull my 500GB and drop it in the external case leaving the 250GB for my torrents, and the 1TB seagate as a backup drive.

I will be returning the Rosewill external harddrive case though; the right blue LED is broken :[
