I need to know how to switch the WD Smartware drive to a regular back up drive with manual control of what files go onto it.
I have done the software update and the firmware update and neither made any difference to the performance of the drive.
I can manually transfer files to the WD500mb that is labeled “K”.
I cannot do anything with the WD 500mb that is labled “J”. I cannot take files off of “J”–when I try to remove the user manuals that are in languages other than English, I get this message:
“Cannot delete User Manual: Files on this CD-ROM drive are read only. You cannot copy or move files over to this CD-ROM drive.”
“J” has all the WD software on it. When I open the “Virtual CD Manager” that is on drive “J” it only allows me to change settings on the WD500 that is drive “K”.
When I disconnnect drive “K”, all the contents are still readable as long as drive “J” is still connected.
I do not understand this.
How do I change “J” from a “read only CD-ROM”?
