My first advice is to download the Western Digital diagnostic from this link.
http://support.wdc.com/downloads.aspx?lang=en
Run the diag and verify the results. If it still responds with 5.9gb then it is probably corrupted and may need to reformatted. If it will not reformat then another utility will low level format the drive. I use this. Only $3.30 for full use or a slower free version. (150gb takes 3 hours)

This will reformat the drive. No data recovery after that I'm afraid.

Hi Drjpt4847!
I agree with run a test with Data Lifeguard Diagnostics and see what the results will be.
If they're not good and you have an information stored on the drive that you want to retrieve don't reformat it, but rather contact a data recovery company and see if they can help you out with that. Here's a link with WD data recovery partners you can take a look at:

Hope this helps and best of luck!
