    In Device Manager, uninstall everything under "Universal Serial Bus Adapters."  Restart your computer and let Windows reinstall the USB controllers.  Now try plugging in your hard drive.

    Part of the problem is most people don't generally deal with computer problems. So for most they think that close enough is good enough.

    I went to the link you provided, but it is for a WD Caviar Internal Hard Drive, but mine is a WD My Book External Hard Drive.....

    This does not matter...running that software will allow you to partition/format the drive for use...
