- Wd External Drive Not Working
I recently just had a problem with my external hard drive. It's a WD essential 1TB. My laptop couldn't recognized my hard drive. Everytime i plug it in, a warning pop out saying that my hard drive not recognized, asking me to initialize, eject or ignore. When i check at the disk utility this is what happens. The infromation i get is all wrong. While my Macbook Pro was being serviced I wanted to see if I could get some files off of my Western Digital Hard Drive so I plugged it into a PC. While plugged into the PC it didn't recognize it so I unplugged it. Now I'm trying to plug it back into my Mac and it's not being recognized by that either. What could the problem be? I tried reinstalling the drivers to no avail. Could plugging it up.
First thing to do is update Yosemite. Download and install OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Combo Update. See if that fixes the problem with the USB port. Be sure to try the drive in each USB port on the computer if you have more than one.
If it still doesn't work then return it to the place of purchase for repair or replacement. If you wish to replace it you must do this within 14 days from date of purchase, and you must return the system to what was originally installed:

Partition and Format the hard drive:
- Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.

- Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.

Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install Microsoft online for mac. button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.
