I forgot to also say that it tell sme it cant optimixw the disk becuase it cant see it, but at the same time it will defrag it. so it sees it but doesnt see it . very confusing and way over my head. please help
sorry for the typos…it cannot optimize because it doesnt exist but at the same time it will defrag it.
problem solved. not much of an answer as to how it happened but it was a problem with permissions. WD support contacted me and took remote control of my pc and fixed the problem. I was honestly surprised as this was purchased in excess of 6 years ago and they still helped me. thanks to the forum for the help !!
