    This video is spot on. At first I even thought I still couldn't figure it out, but I'll BE! Watching this video made it possible. Very well done. My Element WD was showing up as disc 1. I had reformatted it to hold PS4 data, but needed to use it for Windows. Another video said Disk 0 and Disk 1 were usually your PC's C drive and other important stuff so I just had it in my head that I couldn't touch those. Turns out Disk 1 was it and all I had to do was delete the volume on it. Which I am guessing was all the PS4 stuff.

    Curious. What if my USB ports (3.0 in particular) still works for other devices? In my case, the USB jack for my external HDD is only detected when I plug it into my USB 2.0 port with the notification "There's a problem with the drive. Scan to fix it." Yet the scan isn't able to fix anything. The only time I can see it in Disk Management or Device Manager now is when it's connected to the 2.0 port and there's no exclamation point or any detected issues.
    I was able to get it to detect in my 3.0 port for ONE day if I uninstalled it in Device Manager (while it was in the 2.0 port), ejected it, then plugged it in to the 3.0 port.

    I have an external WD 14TB Elements drive and plenty of experience installing new drives. I kept getting errors of "fatal" device error. Couldn't initialize or format. I would shut off and turn back on... nothing.
    Then I unplugged the drive from the AC input and plugged it back in, and my PC finally recognized it. As for why it didn't the first time, I have absolutley no idea; but I spent 45 minutes thinking it was probably DOA until 45 seconds ago. This is after trying all my computers USB ports, etc.
