So my friend bought a WD Passport 320GB external USB hdd. I works perfectly on my pc, it is detected very quickly and shows up in disk management as NTFS and healthy. But when we plug it into his pc, it is shown as a RAW formatted drive, we can not access or view the files on it, and any attempts to format it fail.

Specs:

My PC:
Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe - nForce 570-SLI
2x 1GB G.Skill DDR2 800
Athlon 64 X2 4800+
Sapphire HD 4850

Friend's PC:
MSI P6NGM - GeForce MCP73
1x 2GB DDR2
E8400
HD 4870

I have no idea what is wrong, maybe somebody can at least point me in the right direction.

Did you try formatting it on both PCs?
