    Western Digital MyBook WD5000H1U-00 accessing issue


    Hey everyone!


    I've been having an issue with my system recognizing my external hard drive WD MyBook after I was forced to reinstall the OS last year. Before that, I was able to connect to it & access the data on it without any issues. When I plug it into my USB, it shows there is an extra device to use, however it splits up the external into 2 different drives. It's a 500Gig drive & there's about 1Gig used, but it shows a F: <Drive> & G: <Drive> each with approximately half of the total drive space on each, respectively. As far as I know, I'm using the correct power supply & USB cord as I've heard that can be causing connecting issues as well. I don't want to format the drive as I'm certain the drive is good. I used the WD DataLifeguard to check the drive for errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm not a PC stud but I have more than the average user knowledge.

    :)
