WD external drive problem.(Solved! Panic over.)
After connecting my new WD external drive, making sure it was recognised etc., I reformatted it to NTFS, out of habit. Normally this isn't a problem but now, although Mint accepts that the drive exists (lsblk, lsusb), it refuses to mount it. Have I destroyed a perfectly good drive or can I rescue it?
