Hello, new Linux user here and I cannot mount a new (empty) WD MyBook Essentials 3TB USB external hard drive (Model WDBACW0030HBK-NESN).
[ ... ]
My linux OS is CentOS 5.4 x86-64 running on a dedicated HP z400. The WD MyBook is to back up the large data files we are creating on the HP400 (it's used to run a DNA sequencer)
Your drive is most certainly not compatible with CentOS 5. See
