I’m having a really extange issue with my external drive wd Passport 0748 1tb, one day i was installing a windows 7 in a friend laptop, i had my wd passport connected to the usb port (because i made a backup first) the thing is that after install the windows i notice that windows was not assign it any letter to my passport, The hard drive was detected but suddenly in hardware management was asking for the WD ses driver (in any windows that i plugged in) and in disk managment the hard drive was there but i could not format or do anything else, Smartware said “No writable WD SmartWare partition found” but the rare thing is that i could do i whole scan in WD drive utilities, so i plug in in my pc with Ubuntu (i use Linux as my main OS) and the hard drive was perfect, i mean it was perfectly recognize and i was able to mount it and access it, just in windows it impossible to, and no matter how many windows i tried to pulgged in is the same thing, is detected but no letter assign it.
Please help me
