    Trying to format a WD My Book Essentials 2TB External Drive

    Hi guys,

    A guy at work has asked me to have a look at his WD My Book 2TB External Drive as he cannot seem to be able to put anything onto it. I looked at it and tried all the normal things, tried formatting using 'Disk Management' but it won't have any of it - I also tried using the WD Quick Formatter program from their website, but it comes up with an error.

    I have two 1TB WD external drives and have never encountered this before, can anybody help ?

      Can you remove the drive from the encloser, install it in a pc and try formating it that way.
