Code 43 is a device failure I think. You tried using in other USB ports? Sometimes if you use an extension or one of the front ports it doesn't have enough kick to power the drive.0

Download the WD data lifeguard diagnostics program from the WD site for your particular model of external drive and see what it says - apart from device failure.0
