Yeah, I asked in the store where I got the WD external Harddrive - 2 Terabytes, what they told me, well you can either FORMAT THE EXTERNAL HARDDRIVE…… It is clear that there is a problem with Windows 8 and Western Digital should know about that and have a fix for it. To format a backup hardrive is the stupidest answer I ever even wanted to hear.
Still no solution to the problem.
