Capacity 0 Mb

Hello,

I have a My Book Essentials 2Tb and i used it without any problems on my Windows 7 Laptop. As i wanted to use it on my Mac aswell, i formated it in FAT32. It became very slow and gave lots of errors. For example, when i wanted to transfer some data, it shown ‘‘Not responding’’ and after hours waiting i didn’t have any other choice and i plugged out the external HDD. After that it was recognized but i could’t access it. I tryed again to format it, but now it isn’t recognized anymore, on Mac aswell as on Windows 7.

 In wd dlg tool it can be seen with capacity 0mb, thats why all i do (write zeros, format) is successfully done after just 1 second. SmartWare Update could not be made.

I would be very greatfull if someone could help me with this issue have.

Thank you in advance!

The partition got corrupted.

You can run chkdsk to see if able to repair.

You can also search for third party applications that help you fix the partition table.

Thanks for the Tipp, but how am i supose to right click on something that doesn’t exist … ? I’m not an computer expert, if it is in another way possible, please tell me. My external HDD was just from the wd dlg recognized … but in the Computer or Disk management is not recognized.

I also dwnloaded some third party software and there was the same problem, the hdd wasn’t recognized.
