WD Partition not recognized

WD 1.8tb is partitioned into 3 parts, 2 of which are ‘recognized’ and one is not? Although the 2 recognized sometimes stutter and start. >> Dialogue box tells me “You need to format the disk in drive Q: before you can use it.” HELP Please!

Hello,

It is possible the partitions are corrupted. I recommend you format and repartition your drive.
