I have a problem with an external Western Digital USB2 drive. It has become corrupted (Due, I believe to me unpluggin before parking)and I am now trying to repair it. When I turn the unit on, my PC sees it (G drive) but tells me that it needs to be formatted. I then go throught the motions of formatting the drive (NTFS), but then, after some 4 hours of formatting, it reports: "windows was unable to complete the format". On somebody elses advice I even used a Western Digital tool to low level format the disk, and then tried to format properly again - but still, same problem. I'd appreciate any help you may be able to provide. Thanks very much. Oh ...I am using Windows XP SP2. Hi there. I have a problem with an external Western Digital USB2 drive.
