Hello Bitsnpcs,
I had a similiar problem a few years ago on WD Passport drive. I don't know if your issue is the same but here's the article that helped me.

Hello Scott,

it now shows up as a 1TB hard drive I used the command line to format it as FAT32, but I am unable to do anything with it as for saving files.

I have read the article now, and d/l the HP tool, it is unable to see the MyPassport hdd in windows tree, or in the HP program, so I am not able to select it .
Windows can see it in some way, as under the usb icon it reads "Eject MyPassport"
