My External Western Digital disk is not working and it cannot be modified because it is like a flash drive....
when i plug it in to my vista pc i can find it in disk management
and it is seen as an unknown device.... when i try to enable with MBR it says: Incorrect function
i have run out of ideas...

 

it does not even appear on disk management on my xp pc

Give more information:

1) what is the exact name of the product?
2) how do you connect the product?
3) does the product work on other computers?
4) did you try other operating systems such as Ubuntu Linux?

Only then will you get a useful answer.

It's a western digital external 320gb pocket hard drive....
i connect the product using a usb cable to the pc and i cannot remove it from it's case because it's one of those permanent cases, since it's a pocket device...
i have tried connecting it to other computers but it also doesn't work there....
when i connect it to linux it does not recognize the device....
