This is driving me nuts so any help is enormously appreciated! Story so far is:
I have recently purchased a 24gb My Book Duo but having a nightmare getting it formatted and recognised in windows 10.
Have tried on 2 different machines and googled for hours with no luck.
So I connect the drive up via USB after first installing WD Drive Utilities, windows recognises the drive and so does the WD utilities (there are 2x12GB drives) - so far so good.
You then tell WD utilities to configure the drives in whatever raid config you want. No matter what option I choose I get the error message "The configuration of the drive has failed"
Looking under disk management in windows the drives are showing as not initialised, but when I choose to initialise either as MBR or GPT I again get an error message saying "Incorrect Function".
Looking at the properties of the drive and under events I see the below message which indicates something is wrong but no idea what, have tried to download driver from WD website which didn't help.
So have my £400 drive sitting here and cant even get it recognised - whatever happened to plug and play!!
