Please help me guys!!

It seems that HDD partition format looks bad for WL-500. Try to reformat it under Windows again, you can also try to create a small FAT partition instead and test if it works.

What kind of partition extended or primary ?

Try Primary first.
BTW it won't take long to test both... :)
