External WD 1TB USB Drive not useable

[bochane]

I used it (not recently), a WD-10EAVS 1TB External, on Windows before,

I tested the USB port with different non WD disks, all fine,
I tested the disk itself on the same USB port with Seatools for Windows and it passes all and every test,
It shows up in Disk Management, status OK, 1 Primary partition, no drive letter, with only one option available: Remove Device

But in the Device Manager I find in the log of USB Serial Bus-Controlers - USB Device for Mass Storage - the following record:

Device USBSTOR\Disk&Ven_WD&Prod_10EAVS_External&Rev_1.05\574341553432323039363136&0 was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match.
Last Device Instance Id: SCSI\DISK&VEN_&PROD_MICRON_1100_MTFD\4&4C6A116&0&020000
Class Guid: {4d36e967-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Location Path:
Migration Rank: 0xF000FE00FFFFF130
Present: false
Status: 0xC0000719

Any thoughts?

'Not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match'
I read somewhere that it means that during an upgrade from a previous version of Windows, the driver of this device could not be upgraded.
I will try finding a new driver....

Finally, I found it.
The partition on the disk was made by a Synology NAS, not recognized by Windows.
Windows allowed me to remove this partition and I could recreate and reformat it.
I guess the message 'Not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match' tried to tell me that Windows did not understand the Synology partition.

To work with the disk in this case, I would recommend using special software. For example, Partition Recovery or something similar. So you can access all your data and sections.

Thanks.

I could remove the partition, create a new one, reformat, all plane and simple within Windows.
