I recently changed my job and this result to a change of Laptop. After the first successful usage of my Western Digital Technologies, Inc. Elements SE Portable (WDBABV) [2005] on the new laptop, the hard drive could not be seen in windows my computer for the second time.
If I go to Disk Management, there is always a prompt to initialize the disk. The disk cannot be initialized, it flags Virtual disk manager-access denied error. It shows 465.76GB unallocated.
I downloaded WD drive utility all to no avail. the WD drive utility prompt “attached a supported WD drive”
