No MyBook Install CD

Options

‎07-29-2012 09:02 AM

Hello, I  just got a 1TB My Book Essential 1 TB but can't find the installation CD.  How can I get it/is there another way to download something that will make it work?  I am running on Windows 7.

 

Thanks

The drive is plug and play, to install the drive you only need to plug it in to the computer.  If you want to install the software that comes bundled with the drive, you can download it from here: http://www.wdc.com/global/webtracking/index.asp?id=1127&url=http://download.wdc.com/smartware/SmartW...

Thanks.  I can't see it as a drive as an option to move things to (only C and D drives show up), where I can move items to or do anything with it.  How does it work (where do I need to go) so I can back something up?

 

All I get when I click on the icon are the shortcut properties.
