WD External HD hangs up "loading disk configuration information...
I just did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop due to many problems...one being that I couldn't open the external hd after I had unplugged it and replugged it in.
After the fresh install of Windows 7, when I open computer menu, it shows the external hd, but has no info about the storage space left on it like the other drives in computer menu, and the green bar at the top loads endlessly.
In Device Manager, it shows up and I updated the drive and it said I already had the latest driver.
When I tried to uninstall through Device Manager, once again, it gets hung up on the uninstall endlessly.
When I go to computer management and click on disk management, there is nothing in the menu, but at the bottom, it says "loading disk configuration information...." endlessly.
Is it because I have a 1.5 tb external hd that's nearly full, and it's just going to take a long time to configure?
Can someone please help me out...I can't lose the files on there.
