My Passport Wont Format On Wbfs Install On Your

My MacBook Pro will recognized it for a few seconds and the the drive will eject itself.

Even though I have not upgraded to EC yet, I did call to confirm compatibility.

You may have to reformat the drive on a Windows machine if it wont mount in Disk Utility, though.

If that is the situation (again), then a solution is to remove the drive from the enclosure and put it in another non-WD enclosure.

The best thing to do with WD drives is not to buy them in the first place.

They come with software on the drive that is unnecessary and incompatible with Macs, software that they want you to install on your Mac that is unnecessary and incompatible with Macs, and sometimes the incompatible (and unnecessary) firmware issue.

I visited many forums, even went out to get a USB Port as some people advised this worked.

Not at all. The solution, is to get rid of the WD software once.

I used the uninstaller for the software and restarted for the upteenth time today it finally worked.

I formatted before the upgrade, but was also able to reformat once I upgraded ( I believed I had done something wrong, so redid it).

As we speak 6GB out of 320GB backed up, without failing, Good Luck.

Then read that if you use Time Machine and select the My Passport as the drive it will ask to erase.

It worked. Then went back to Disk Utility and was able to partition and it works fine now.
