WD500 labeled as a "CD-ROM" by Windows XP--can't reformat it

Hi there.

Drives J and K are the Wd500 passport. They are the same physical drive. The VCD is only a virtual CD drive. You can not change it only hide it.

“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”. 

I think this is becasue drive J is a Virtual CD of drive K. Have you tried changing the setting of K through the VCD Manager.

Unless you actually have two physical WD500 drives attached with two USB cables then all is working as it should.

I just ignore the Virtual CD Drives on my PCs
