I newly bought WD My Passport 1TB and in my notebook pc Windows 8 x64 installed.
The problem; 1 minute later of connecting hard drive via USB Windows automatically removes the drive (from usb) and then reconnects it. I cannot use My Passport properly: need help on this issue.
I found that the problem is happening when WD Smartware program is running. Since I’ve stopped it I’m not getting any usb error. Is there a problem with WD Smartware while it’s running on windows 8?
I am having the same issue. I just upgraded to Windows 8 and it won’t recognize my WD My Passport when I plug in the USB cord. Can anyone help? I’ve read on WD’s site to install something or other, but it warns of wiping out the drive and I don’t have any place to put the information stored on the drive.
For Some Reason My MyBook Was Doing The Same Thing And Over Endless Hours Of Search I Found A Solution
