How do I erase my wd passport hard drive

[chapter5]

Hello,
I erased my passport essential and now I have nothing. I thought I was only deleting MY files. Is there a way to reinstall the original stuff?

Original stuff as in the built-in programs it came with? http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=201&sid=84&lang=en has the software you need.

yes. I erased everything. When i attempt to use it, there is nothing in any file. I called the company and they are saying they cannot help me and I would have to buy a new one.

Why not just download the utilities yourself form the link?
Or just use it as is, you just need the storage space really. For backups there are a dozen good programs out there.
