My Book World Edition II - automount on reboot somehow?

Caveat: My apologies if this is a frequently asked question. I’ve looked at the manual and searched here and didn’t find it.

I have a My Book World Edition II - 2 TB drive attached to a wireless router via an ethernet cable.  The drive is setup in a mirror RAID configuration and works fine but there are a couple of things I can’t locate.  I’m using the drive as a dasd extention for daily data access, not a backup medium.

  1. is it necessary to defrag the drives somehow periodically? 

  2. when I reboot either laptop (both windows 7 x64) the drive letter assignments on the WB show on the laptops but are not

accessable until I try and access them.  Then a user/password prompt comes up, I enter usr/pw and the drives mount to     

laptops and work fine.   I do have multiple users defined to the WB.  Is there a way to have to drives mount automatically when the laptops reboot? 

Again, my apologies if I should of been able to find the information.

Thread moved into the Other Network Drives board as it is the most appropriate for the WD My Book World Edition II.
