WD Passport HD 1 TB disk 1 is unknown
Hi Admin,
I'm also facing the same like the rest of em with My WD 1TB external HDD, whenever I connect it, the computer recognizes it's being plugged in, however it doesn't appear in My Computer. When I go to Disk Management it comes up as "Disk 1, Unknown, Not Initialized".
I tried with the Partition Wizard mentioned earlier in the post, but seems it takes lot of time. Data inside the drive doesn't matter for me. If i get it formatted that would help.. kindly advise on how to proceed further.
Also am not seeing the option, New Simple Volume when selected the Unallocated drive.
If Initialize disk is to be done, what partition type has to be selected "MBR or GPT"
Please Help !! Thank you !!
