Endless attempts to reformat and troubleshoot this unresponsive drive on the computer. In the end, old-fashioned mechanical reformatting was resorted to. The drive behaved the same way after a mechanical reformat. WD junk drive died confused and clueless but without much pain. Instead of sending flowers, consider donating to other companies that make external drives that actually work.
