    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.

    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.

    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.
