Blinking light on a 2tb My book

I have a 2tb wd my book. The drive light blinks, like it tyring to access a file from somewhere else or write a file to the drive. The drive can read and write files and shows up in the system configuration storage file as working. I have formatted the drive with no help. I have run the wd diagnostics and no problems found. I talked to wd support and they said another file from another drive is tyring to access tthis drive. WD support was not helpfull at all. Anyone know what could be the problem? I have read several posts but their was not recognized by their computer.

I did notice one time. I configured all my drives in Alphabetical order. I ejected the problem my book drive and unplugged  the drive. When I plugged the sata cable back in it showed up as a different drive letter then I assigned earlier.

Thanks Chris

Hello cbiggs, if I understand correctly, the My Book is working fine but the front light is always blinking even when you are non trying to access it? Have you tried to connect the My Book to another PC to verify if the same behaviour happens again? You can also rty to right click on the hard drive select properties, under General uncheck the box for “Allow files in this drive to have contents indexed”.

I tried plugging the 2tb my book into another computer and you can see the drivers load, no problem. I have also performed allow files of contents indexed by unchecking the box. This does not help. It will then unindex the files. The file is not very large but enough to see the unindexing of the drive. When completed the light still blinks. So I tried rechecking the box to reindex the files, no problem. The light still blinks. At this point I have disconnected the drive. Tried everything with no result.

WD has assigned a Level 2 tech to my problem and they will work with me to hopefully find the problem. I will get back and let everyone know what the fix is, if there is a fix.

Please keep the ideas coming. I do not want to scrap the drive. I have disconnected the drive only to protect the rest of my drives.

The problem that I find hard with this drive it just started over night. Also was shut down because I felt that the drive would over heat. I have another MY 3t which runs cool to the touch where the other runs hot but not to hot due to the continuos blinking.

Thanks Chris 

I worked with WD to try an resolve the problem, but no luck. So WD sent out a new one to me. So I am very happy, but they are puzzled.

Thanks Everyone for your Help!!
