just formatted my WD my passport ultra 1 TB to my xbox 1. Its now not show on my windows vista computer

OK, so I just format my WD my passport ultra 1 TB to my xbox 1. Its now not show on my windows vista computer, worked and connected very well before, but now nothing appears. Anything to help. Thank you

OT:

Please help with this

Try this: go to "Start" then go to "Computer" right click on computer and left-click 'manage '.

This will bring you to the management of the computer. From there, you should see the drive. Try "initialize disk".

If you are not the "backup operator" or the "Administrator", then go to the control panel - system tools

-Administrative Tools, then click on "disk management". From there, you can follow these instructions.

Initialize new disks

Backup operator or administrator is the minimum number of members required.

To initialize new disks
  1. In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize, and then click Initialize Disk.

  2. In the dialog box initialize the disk , select the disk to initialize. You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

Note

The disk is initialized as a basic disk.

Additional considerations

  • New disks appear as uninitialized. Before you can use a disk, you must first initialize it. If you start disk management after the addition of a disk, the disk initialization Wizard appears then you can initialize the disk.

    You will need to contact Dell about this and see if they still have an XP CD to sell you to reinstall XP

    IF Dell still have an XP disk available for this model, you will then need to clean install XP to replace Vista as an operating system.

  • WD My Passport Ultra 2 TB not mounting end 2009 Macbook running Yosemite

    I have a MacBook 2009 end I want to back up. I already have two former WD and Seagate external hard drives that work fine. However, I just bought WD My Passport Ultra 2 TB in February 2016 and it will not be mounted more than 15 seconds. It's the third external hard drive that I tried last year and I just get so frustrated that I have to return them. But I really need to back up my files!

    My Mac features: 13-inch late 2009, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Memory running Yosemite 10.10.5

    It remains not up long enough for me to format for Mac. Help, please.

    WD made great bare records, but their cases are often hostile Mac regardless of the hype on the box. Please see my comments in this thread:

    WD My Passport for Mac is not recognized

    The other poster was trying to retrieve items on the disk, so a delete/reformat was not an option for him. However, WD boxes are often better if they are are erased and reformatted for Mac. WD has an odd of industrial property on the reader that they stick in their enclosure which can cause formatting problems. Their speakers are often working very well after reformatting the drive inside.

    After struggling with a number of external hard drives 'brand', I now use only those that are sold by Other World Computing:

    http://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/hard-drives/external-enclosures

    They may cost more that those who will be on sale every weekend in the supermarkets of office, but, when I wonder what's worth my data, the cost of the OWC speakers seems quite affordable. We have them on every Mac we have and none have shown bad behavior.

  • Pavilion G6-2123us: recovery of System Image of WD My Passport Ultra

    On my Pavilion G6 Notebook, I created a Windows 7 System Image and stored on an external USB WD My Passport Ultra.  When I boot my drive to repair (with the connected USB drive) and asks him to restore a System Image it says that it manages.  Because it's there (my Windows 8 machine can see the images on the USB drive), I guess that the G6 can not see My Passport USB drive.  I've updated the BIOS and other software recommended on the G6 as well as update the firmware on My Passport but no luck.   The G6 are able to see the key USB when I started upward in repair disk mode?   I give myself the option to load drivers for my external hard drive, but I don't know what that way with a USB connected any device.  If the G6 should be able to see the USB key, what should be my next step?

    I'll call this resovled.  The answer is that the native Windows tools to manage the system image in Windows 7 are really quite poor and you're better off using another product.  But whatever happens, to start on the ERD and see the USB you have to plug the USB on the right side (mouse) USB port.

  • Disabled USB when you run the WD My Passport Ultra software

    Thank you

    Hey there RezaMoghadam :)

    I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I'll try to help him with everything I can. :)
    What WD software do you use? This happens with other WD or third party you run software? You have the latest driver and OS? Is the function of conduct properly on this or other computers? What is the brand and model of your laptop?
    I could try the drive on another computer and see if the problem still occurs.
    I also check the disk with the WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool and see if it passes the tests quick and extended. Here is a link to the tool: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=3XVkbA
    Another thing you can do is completely remove drivers and let the OS to install via the update tool.

    Post back with some progress :)

  • I don't know my product key. I don't have a disk it came with the pc and below when I try to read I can not, some numbers are scratched and I just format my pc what can do?

    I don't know my product key. I don't have a disk it came with the pc and below when I try to read I can not, some numbers are scratched and I just format my pc what can do?

    Just installed windows 7 but I can't read my product key?

    Help me please thx!

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

  • Fusion 6, USB 3.0 and WD My Passport Ultra 1 TB... IN CASE OF FAILURE!

    Has anyone found a verified correction to get a Western Digital my passport Ultra 1 TB USB 3.0 working with VMware Fusion 6?  I know it is problem or failure with VMware Fusion because it works very well in VMware Workstation 10.  A largely acquired VMware workshop, it's very disappointing.

    History

    Built the new virtual machine for Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 7 x 64 and conducted all Microsoft Updates using VMware Fusion 6.0.3 and OS X 10.9.2 with Late 2012 13 "MacBook Pro retina.

    Problem

    Connected to Western Digital my passport drive Ultra 1 to USB 3.0 to newly built VM.  The following error:

    The "(Western Digital My Passport 0741) device" could not connect to its ideal host controller. "

    Screen Shot 2014-05-08 at 4.11.58 PM.png

    Solution (that is, not really a Solution)

    Use VMware Workstation 10 on workstation hp Elite 8300 running Windows 7 Professional x 64.  No problem encountered.

    If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this very annoying VMware Fusion and USB 3.0 I would be very happy.

    It is probably because the linux distribution supports USB 3.

    If you got it from another computer, the answer is no.

    If you bought from Microsoft, you can.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    This is your key to your XP license.

    You can wipe the computer and reinstall.

    It now part of the process to upgrade and stop install you on another computer.

    But you can use it to reinstall > then go back to Vista.
