So I see a lot of other posts with similarities to mine, and I have been googling answers for as long as I can remember tonight.
I have been messing with my passport in order to reach the files that are located on it, it was working about two hours ago, and I reformatted my computer, not before I put some files and cfg folders that I would need for a later time into the passport, and then I reformatted ( I did not have the Passport connected when I reformatted. )
Usually the plug and play works, but this time was different. I have tried all the tricks by going into the Device manager and everything shows up, there is not Caution sign next to it, I have disabled and re-enabled it. I have uninstalled the drivers and then restarted and then plugged it back in to a different USB port on my computer, all to no avail.
I downloaded the WD Drive Utilites set up and it sees the drive, I did a Drive Status Check and everything looks good, and a Quick Drive Test and that passed as well. It shows up EVERYWHERE but my autoplay, even the WD Drive Utility software wont let me right click on the Passport and hit "Open".
I don't know what else to do and I hear that people on Tom's Hardware are pretty smart with figuring this stuff out..
Any help would be great!
Thank you.
