PC doesn't recognize Passport after Mac use

hi..
I too recently lost my data from Mac pro, due to accidental deletion.so in order to recover those loss data, I implemented Hard Drive Data Recovery Tools. it impressed me very much with its quality features. You can download this tool from internet for trial use.

Corruption or failing/failed drive. Mac supports
HFS+ (mac filesystem)
NFTS and FAT32 (windows filesystem)
exts2 (linux/unix)

The simplest way is to use a card reader to download your pictures

the problem is that your western digital operates using the NTFS (New Technology File System) which is the standard file system of Windows. Apple macs is not interopable with native NTFS therefore you need to install a read-write NTFS file-system driver on your mac.

an excellent free mac NTFS driver can be found here-

Unfortunately when you format a hard drive it deletes anything on it so if you did this after putting the documents onto it they are now gone.

Does it currently connect to any other mac or pc???
If someone "yanked" it out while it was still in use, it could have corrupted the boot sector of the drive containing basic information about the drive that allows it to be read properly by the operating system. If this is the case you can recover everything without any data loss within minutes. Look over the following program, TestDisk v6.11.3, and see if it's something your willing to try. It's 100% free, no spyware, no viruses, no adware:
(Note: if you use this, you should experiment with it first on a usb thumbdrive you're not using until you feel comfortable with it)

Hi

You can either format the drive using the PC or install MacDisk on your PC witch will allow you to view any Mac formatted drive on the PC.

Click the link to download macdisk7.5.7.5 or reformat the drive to NTFS which the mac and PC will be able to share if the need arises in the future.

You have to run mac tools that is on that hard drive prior to plugging it in.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/edwy_1a56970cf1ea4620

Some computers (especially Mac laptops) don't send enough power through the USB port to power a passport, so you need to get an extra power cord, one that combines 2 USB ports into one to get a little extra juice. Wish I could give you a website where you can buy that extra cord but I am currently looking for one myself at this moment in time.
