Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community! I came across your post and wanted to assist you. I understand you are having issues with your External HDD, don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you resolve this issue.
The external hard drive you have is a Plug and play hard drive to which as long as the PC drivers are updated, there is no need for the separate drivers.
However, you must have gotten a disc for the Backup software which you may use anytime to back up the contents stored on the external hard drive.
Follow the steps in the below manual under section troubleshooting and check if it helps. Click here

You can alternatively, try this link https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?lang=en (Please select the product) and then download the software.
I hope this information helps. Let me know if you need any further assistance. I'll be more than happy to help.
Feel free to post your query for any other assistance as well,
It's been a pleasure interacting with you and I hope you have a good day ahead.

I have a HP SimpleSave MD1000h External Hard Drive and accidentally re-formatted when trying to connect my phone. I can no longer access the drive, still shows with different icons, but when I click on one, nothing happens.
