Eventually, I fixed the problem by updating WD firmware to the USB3 mypassport 1TB HDD.
description of my probllem faced>>>
I was having problem with mypassport USB3.0 External HDD 1TB capacity, it intermitently shows “delayed write failed” and then not readable by WinXP … I frustrated, tried to quick format the HDD, started t backup data to this WD mypassport HDD, initially works fine till about 270GB data content was stored in HDD, then always shows error “delayed write failed” when u connect HDD to USB2 port. Then, tried to re-format HDD without “quick format” option clicked. However, it failed to re-format, and only the “Device Manager” abe to recognise mypassport HDD , and window explorer & computer management — disk management cannot recognize the HDD, eventually the problem fixed & resolved by updating the WD firmware to the USB3.0 mypassport HDD.
