These drives are a bit of a pain... I got one on a 2010 December special.
THere is a second partition that is not really quite there called a virtual CD... I found that there were newer versions of the software on the WD web site, and downloaded them. The Virtual CD has a control panel that is 50% accessable via Voice OVer. And I would not recomend using it. There is also a driver that is supposed to improve performance, but I still found the drive slow... In any case, try formating using the WD program, and then verifying with Disk Utility. THere is also a command ( I believe command line) to prevent the Virtual CD Disk from showing up every time you plug it in. If your budget allows it, I suggest returning the Passport drive and getting a firewire capable drive if your computer supports it. The Firewire transfer rates appear to be better. If you need more help, I can go back and research the tools I used.
