The driver should already be included in Windows … i’ve been using WD external drives (portables and desktops) for the last 10 Years and more and have never had to download any drivers. I just plug it in, Windows detects the drive … wait for several seconds and it’s ready to use.
What version of Windows are you using on your PC ?
Thanks for your reply Joey. I made a few changes in disk management and reformatted, renamed and everything works. cheers
The possible causes for such an issue can be an incompatible file system, missing drive letter, disk driver issues, damaged partition issues on the hard drive. In a worst-case, the drive itself is failing.
You can try below fixes to resolve the issue:
Initialize the drive or drive partition
Change/Assign drive letter
Update Disk drivers
Enable drive in BIOS
