I have a Western Digital WD 500 External hard drive that I can not get to show up in MY COMPUTER. THe issue is according to Western Digital these hard drives will not work for Vista 64..................that is hard to believe honestly, but who knows. Anyone have any ideas how I can get this to work?
It shows up in Device Manager and Disk Manager, but not in MY COMPUTER. When I try to format it from Disk Manager I get an error saying that the drive has not been initialized and it is unallocated. I have tried all 8 of my USB ports, pulled the hard drive out and hooked up with a few different adapters and even tried going directly to the mobo and nothing works.
The model number in the hard drive is WD5000YS
