plug it into your pc it should come up in my computer as a hard drive right click on it go to format then it will give u an option to format it to FAT32 MAKE SURE U SAVE YOUR FILMS TO YOUR PC HARD DRIVE FIRST
The only way that you can be able to format it with fat32 file system is to use a Mac Computer and use disk utility or you can also try to partition the disk using a partition size lower than 40GB.

I got the BSOD on my laptop. Before I wipe the computer completely, I had my harddrive backup onto a WD MyPassport. I went to look at the files later on another laptop and was thoroughly confused by the interface. I'm afraid that the 100.00 I just spent to have it backed up was just wasted because I wiped the Passport. Anyone have working knowledge of this stupid software? Any hope? I'm so done with PCs!!

I've dropped my Western Digital 250gb hard drive & now its not working. The light on the device does light up & the computer recognises that something has been connected but you cannot see the drive in the My Computer window. There is a clicking noise for about 10secs when the hard drive is starting up but then it gives up. I presume the thing is completely dead but is there any way of retrieving / transferring the data / memory. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :-)
