    "My external USB WD 5000BEV hard drive is recognized in the devices

    The dock is recognized, but the hard drive is not yet initialized.

    Check the Storage Device Manager to initialize and format it.

    Because the manuals don't tell everything...
    But also not nothing, right!"

      Yes, thank you for the response, but it is recognized in the device manager, and there is nothing to initialize it, only an update of the driver or uninstalling the device!!!! What to do?

      I am not talking about the Device Manager (which you access from the Control Panel, and also from the 'Properties' of 'Computer'), but the 'Disk Management' menu in 'Computer Management':
      right-click on Computer
      Manage
      on the left in the appeared window, drop-down menu 'Storage'
      menu 'Disk Management'

      !!! Attention !!! This tool allows formatting partitions, which will result in the loss of the data they contain! Please read the warnings carefully before 'proceeding' or 'confirming'.
