WD 2TB ext. Harddrive problems!

Hello folks

I bought this hard drive about a year ago, and suddenly, for no apparent reason my computer tells me I can’t access the hard drive unless I format it first. I have now tried formating it in every way I no how. Right clicked on computer and managed drives, simply formating it, when the option pops up as I plug it in, using windows tweak ui, reasigning it to a new letter, reinstalling the driver and then formating it. Nothing has worked, I simply get the message “Formating could not be completed” (translated from danish), I really don’t wanna have to send it in for the varrenty, so please help!

There are a lot of applications you can use to format the drive

you can also delete the partition and then reformat

Well that other guy was no help, it’s probbaly corrupted, I’ve got your exact problem - I had it for a year and then it just died. Try and return it to who you bought it off and get a diffrent one. Preffrably not WD though.
