Hello,
I cannot open my wd external hard, but it is showing in my computer as"Local Disk:I". tried several times to open but could not.
when I connect it to the computer it appears a window " you need to format the disk in drive I: before you can use it"
i tried formatting but windows can't format.
and when I tried to open a window appears " I:/ is not accessible. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."
help me to open my hard.

Hi,
Try unplugging the device, uninstalling the drivers, restarting the PC and plugging in the device. The OS should reinstall drivers. I would try the chkdsk /r, /f commands from the cmd. Some users seems to have pretty good success rate with this method. You should try accessing your files from another PC.

https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?DL - You can manually download the WD drivers.
Hope this helps
