![]() ![]() This is where I ran into my first frustration. ![]() I wanted to make sure, I could easily move the drive between my two (2) PCs and have the drive be recognized by each PC. The PC recognized the My Book and everything was fine. I did not install the WD backup program or any other non-essential programs. When I got the drive, I followed the Western Digital instructions to install the basic software/drivers and to make the connections. I do not plan on having the drive permanently connected to a PC. I plan to keep the drive on a shelf or in its box when it is not needed for images or restores. If you are now in the same boat I was in a few days ago, this post may save you some frustration.īefore I start, I want to mention that my plan for the My Book is to use it as a place to store my backup images. The solution is very easy, but it took me some trial and error to figure out. Because I had some frustration trying to make the drive work with my computer (get recognized) and also experienced frustration trying to get the drive to work with the TI 9.0 Rescue boot disk (get recognized), I wanted to share how I got this drive to work. ![]() This is not my first USB device, but it is my first external hard drive. It came with USB and Firewire 400 connections. I recently purchased a 250GB Western Digital My Book external hard drive.
