Welcome to the community, Stanley!
Sorry to hear you struggling with this.
Can you access the drive through Disk Management and can you see what it says under File System?
I suggest you try to format the drive first.
Here's a link how to partition and format a WD drive:http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3744

[EDIT]
If it's still now working, I suggest you test the drive with Data LifeGuard Diagnostics:

Hopefully this will solve your issue!
