im trying to format my 1TB WD External HD, and i always get this message at the end,. (the format did not complete successfully) i tried the Disk Management already but to no avail…  please help me… thanks

Most of us don’t partition that often review this link http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3865 and make sure you didn’t miss anything. I don’t know what OS you are using or what format you want.
