Hi,
I had accidentally deleted the HP SimpleSave backup software from my HP External hard drive and it now does now open up. It shows never ending green progress bar but won't go beyond it.
I searched everywhere but could not find the SimpleSave software. Kindly help as all my important data is backed up in that hard drive.

The following is the product detail:

I had tried using the drive on other laptops but failed.
Please note: I have another HP USB External Hard Drive of the same make and both my drives now has the same problem. I am unable to use both. Both having the same green progress bar.
