I do not want My Passport Essential SE to automatically back up. I want to pick whatever file and back it up. How do I do this? I have read that I will need to reformat it but if I do that then I will not be able to have a password on my passport hard drive will I? I will not keep my hard drive connected to my computer either. I mostly bought this to back up my pictures and certain documents and that’s all. How do I do this without everything being backed up?
Also, as of now I have done a back up and cannot figure out how to view all the files that it has backed up and delete certain files that I do not care to back up. HOW DO I VIEW MY BACKED UP FILES? I am so lost.
Can someone please help me?!?! I want a more simpler way of backing up certain files and not EVERYTHING!
How do I uninstall it? Is that the format folder on the drive? If I do this will I be able to install it again on the drive if I want it back?
Formatting the hdd will allow me to use it for my Mac book, my desktop and laptop (bOth are Windows 7)?
Can I click the file that is on the HDD that says “WD Quick Formatter” and clear everything out and then copy and paste certain files into My Passport?
Will this mess anything up? The dude at Best Buy actually told me thats what he did to manually back up certain files. Then he walked off so I coudln’t ask anything else.
Will this be easier for me to just deal with Windows for my HDD? It seems to troubling to save a few files from Mac so I’ll stick with PC to put on my Passport
Can I uninstall Smartware and still be able to use Password security to lock and unlock the drive?
or can I just leave the Smartware there but stop it from backing up or running in the background? and access to security function whenever I plug in the WD drive?

The application will work even when the software is not installed
remember that you will need to use the drive on multiple computers therefore it will not be suitable to have to install an app just to unlock the drive
the software comes on a hidden partition and allows you to unlock the drive
however be careful about password protection, if you forget the password there is no master password and you will need to erase the drive
