portable hard drives western digital image
spasticpat
I have a western digital my passport essential 320gb portable hard drive. How do I erase all data and make it exactly as it was when it came out of the box from the store? I need to erase all profiles (passwords and all) and data that is saved to it but can't figure out how to do it. I know the password and all obviously because it's mine, and I am logged into the sync app right now, I just need to figure out how to get it all removed.
Answer
What OS are you using? In Windows you can use Disk Administrator. Just select the drive and choose format. Even easier, open a command window and type:
FORMAT <drive>:
CAUTION: Make sure you specify the correct drive letter, as you will be erasing everything on the drive (which is what you want to do)!
You can run HELP FORMAT first, to check the options.

Iâm trying to decide what portable hard drive to buy, the Seagate Freeagent go or Western Digital's passport essential. Does either need any type of outside power source, like a battery? Do I need to buy a forked USB cable in order to have enough power?
Answer
Based on my variety of experiences, I'd choose Seagate unless you are planning on dumping some money for WD Raptors.
Experience from 20 years ago isn't going to help you, but Seagate's reputation took a dive after they bought Connor. :) Infact, the whole company took a dive with layoffs and being spread too thin overseas.
But they've gained a large market share since and have remained very strong in company / business sales all the while. Their current consumer line of drives seem very reliable as the ratio of bad Seagate drives vs good ones seems lower than bad Western Digital vs. good ones. I don't have numbers, but that's just the way it looks after working on thousands of computers.
My personal experiences with Seagate have been flawless. No problems. I cannot say the same for WD. But again, it is all subjective and luck of the draw...
Also from my personal experiences, I might include Samsung if it is available at a low price as well.
