I need help, Can't open it after formatting

Hi, I am desperate. First, I assigned my WD My Passport HD Ultra as a system recovery disk accidentally. So I lost all my documents I had there. I tried to recover all my files using EaseUS Partition Master but that was impossible. So I tried to get back my WD to its natural use and I followed the normal procedure but fat32 changed its capacity to 32GB instead 1T!!. That’s why I tried a different way formatting in a ntfs but it was not possible to format my external WD properly according to a window that showed up, but the weird thing is that the format was done at the end.

Now I can’t open it, just access with my password but nothing else. As a matter of fact, EaseUS shows my WD without any letter assigned and as unallocated disk, but I doesn’t let me do it either.


Looks like is locked. You are my last hope.

No, it was not. That window shows the drive is not formatted.

Ok, but I can’t access, can you help me?

I don’t know what you mean by “Can’t Access.”

Right-click Disk 1 (I assume that’s your Passport), and format it. What happens?

As you can see, my external drive is not recognized by the computer. Any idea?

I already told you. You need to FORMAT IT. It will NOT show up in Explorer until it’s formatted.

I know, that would be easier for me, but look, there´s no way to find the “format” option

Right-click the “UNALLOCATED” block. Format should appear there.

Hard to fix it, right? I am sure I screwed up the external drive while I tried to format as ntfs.

Do “New Simple Volume…” and follow the instructions in the wizard.

please tell me, do you recommend me to format as ntfs or exfat?

Forget my last question. Thank you so much!! You saved my life!
