Doctor Google prescribes this:

Good luck

SteveB:
Thanks again - I'd found articles from Dr Google saying similar things.  Unfortunately as my drive only shows as a devise I can't give it a drive letter :-(  I'll try WD to see if they have a tool - was not obvious from their website but there was a phone number.   

ToH2002:
What does the drive look like in Windows Disk Management? Maybe you can post a screenshot - would make it easier to help you troubleshoot the issue.

It might be necessary to create a partition on it before you can assign a drive letter - not sure what state the DL32 has left it in...

Cheers,

Torsten

I'm thinking that this is your problem.

This should allow you to first partition the drive and then format and assign drive letters
Just don't use Microsoft's formatter
Cheers
