Western Digital — Wd hdd creating problem while formatting

Hi AMDC,

I am sorry to hear that you are facing this issue with the WD drive. I’d like to check with you,


How you are trying to format the drive?
Are you using any software to format the drive?
Have you tried to write zeroes on the device with the WD Data Lifeguard diagnostics?
Is there any error message?

It is recommended to low-level format the hard drive to resolve any partition corruption issues that may be present.

I am posting the link below with the instructions:
