I purchased a refurbished WD external hardrive listed in the subject line. Recently, this unit is not recognized by my Dell 531 Inspiron PC. After contacting WD support, who advised me to seek a "free partition software," I am stuck. I am unable to locate such software. Two computers report that the driver's are corrupt on this external hard drive. Any suggestions?

It sounds like a bad adapter board (part of the case, not part of the drive itself). This can generally be fixed by replacing the case...but some WD external drives are designed to prevent you from doing this...hard to say as I don't know that model number.
