My WD 4Tb USB HDD only Shows Local Disk (E:)

[alexwd]

Firs I'm sorry for my english, it's not my first language.

When I open the explorer the disk shows as Local Disk (E: ) and doesn't show the capacity, and the green bar above star loading and never ends

I can't even touch my hard disk. If i right click on my comp it just stops

I can't open device manager or disk manager if the disk is connected

I run chkdsk E:/f on the command prompt and it found an error but doesn't fix it

I connect it in another PC and a mensage pops up sayin format the disk to acces it, i click format and give me an error

I'm desperate, please help, I'm from cuba and I can't return it, and can't afford to lose it
