Hello.
I actually have two WD external Hard Drives. The older one is the one I use daily to save work, the back up is a My Book Essential of 1 TB. Oddly enough, it was my newer Essential the one that gave me problems.
Everynow and then I would transfer data from my older WD external HD to My Book Essential. Today, I was going to do the same. But suddenly my computer did not even recognize My Book Essential upon USB connection.
I have a Windows XP OS (apparently 32 bits). So I wondered what happened to do this sudden change.
I assumed that after one of those Windows updates, it may have changed something out of my drives. So I came here to WD site, and downloaded the WD SES Driver to be installed in C:. And so I did, and nothing happened.
Please, anyone that has encountered a similar problem, I would like any advice.
