Without seeing your drive I'm guessing that you have been caught by
WDs "special program" that works for Windows but is a PITA for Linux.
Do some googling on the drive but I believe you will find you will
have to reformat it before use (there is an HP utility that does
this, called I believe HPUSB Disk or some such).
