I have a WD My Passport Ultra 2tb. I used Diskpart to clean the drive. The first problem I ran into is that I received an error from Diskpart stating an I/O error after running Diskpart however the drive was listed in Disk Management and needed to be initialized which I did and next it stated it needed to be formatted which I tried to do however I get an error message that the formatting could not be completed yet the drive is listed not only in Disk Management but also in file explorer. Has anyone run into this situation? Really strange.
Hi treadhead194,
You may want to try using the drive on a different working computer. You may also diagnose the drive for any error.
Have you tried with a different USB cable?
