    Having trouble with WD 500 GB external after using diskpart clean


    After trying to use the diskpart to clean and then allocate a partition on my External HDD that ended up not working, now I can't get the drive to load any of the data I did store on it before. (Part of the 500 GB HDD is set for use with 360 but only 16GB). Now I can't get the drive to load other than when in the Computer Management>Disk Management and it shows up as Disk 1 but unallocated. I attached a screen shot of the Computer Manager.

    Thanks for the help!

    So what exactly are you trying to do ?

    Right click on it and make your partition or partitions.

    Looks as though you wiped the whole thing.

    When I try and right click to assign it a letter I don't get the option. I'll take a screen shot of what is available. And if I did wipe it, is there anything I can do to fix it?
