Hi,
I had brought the My Passport Essential SE (model number: WDBABM0010BBK-PESN). I had installed WD Smartware Software just for WD Drive Lock function.
After I had installed it in my computer (with locking with passport for My Passport partition), then I try to connect it to another computer (with Windows XP SP3 OS). Then appear an error message about its drivers not found, because its driver there are in My Passport partition (in folder “…\Extras\WD SES Device Driver”), not in UDF partition, while My Passport partition is locked with a password.
To resolve this problem, here I suggest you to put its drivers to UDF partition.
I have another idea/suggest. I suggest you to add two options for unlock drive function. The options are “Unlock with WriteProtect-ON” and “Unlock with WriteProtect-OFF”.
Why I suggest it? Because we are sometimes just to copying files (from My Passport Essential) to another computer. With the WriteProtect-ON function so My Password Essential is safety for viruses.
Please apply these my suggests to the next firmware update.
Thank you.
