Hello,
When I want to use WD 2tb hard disk as external hard disk, my windows xp did not reconize it but Windows 7 did show the disk only in Disk Management as OEM disk with zero space and there is no option for formatting and it also shown as unsupported disk.Why

Hi Seena,
Could you tell me model of your hard drive? It seems to me that it is an internal drive. How do you connect it externally, with a SATA to USB cable or with some enclosure? Does the drive work properly when connected with a SATA connector? I recommend you to try the HDD on another PC and see if there will be difference. If formatting the drive is an option, try using the Diskpart command from the Command Prompt. You can use it to clean partitions and assign a drive letter. I leave you some details below. To confirm the drive's condition, I recommend you to use Data Lifeguard Diagnostic, the WD diagnostics tool. I leave you a download link below.

Did you check how you connect your desktop HDD to laptop?...The Desktop HDD needs suitable power if not it will not recognize in laptop.. did you try this HDD with any other computer and tell whether it is working?
