No writable WD SmartWare partition found

Finally it’s working for me after the latest firmware. :smileyvery-happy:

I had tried every possible switch and setting short of a factory restore, and had finally given up hope.

Smartware started working within seconds of the reboot, so obviously these issues were related to the fix. (and I might add were likely known by WD and not disclosed)

Hope this works for others who have been frustrated.
