Remove write protection from my passport 07a0 external drive

Hello i’ve an external WD drive passport 07a0 of 450gb. I´ve quick formated with win 7 but when i tried to copy a few files i couldn´t do this. I get a message telling me that the disk was write protected. I tried to use DISPART and created a primary partition but coundn´t format the drive.
I´ve looking for a solution on the internet but nothing that i´ve found had work
Is there a way to solve this?
I also want to update the firmware
Thanks
