I have had problems like that with Seagate drives tool. After posting
on the manufacturers forum, I was informed it is mostly just useless
information. In any case, I used the Seagate manufactures' tools to
'fix' the problem.

In your case, you have a WD drive. Go to this URL and follow the
instructions:

https://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?p=3D2

The instructions for creating the bootable USB drive are for a Windows
system. You could either use a Windows machine to create the disk, or
attempt to do so from your PC. I leave the exercise up to you.

Report back. I would be interested in your results.
