I have no difficulties with disassembling the drive. However won't that usually void my warrenty? Furthermore once I get the data out is there a way to fix the problem so I can get back to using the drive as I used to?

@Zeliax Frankly I don't know. I admit this subject never even crossed my mind because I always buy disks and enclosures separately. If there's a sticker over a screw or some screws are sealed, then I guess it may.

I believe I will contact WD and ask then what the suggested procedure from their part is as I still have a valid warranty for the drive. I will not send the drive in for an RMA as I have personal content on the drive so I hope they have some good suggestions for what I should do. If not I believe I will need to buy a new enclosure and use that for the drive once I have recovered the files with the drive out of an enclosure. Thanks for your answer!

I added an edit to my original post if you want to know more about what happened regarding my drive.
