After updating yesterday I found that my old MyBook drive is not being recognized. It shows up as a local drive without any content. Not sure yet this has anything to do with the Smartware 1.5.4.5 update but I will be after I try it on another PC.
Like another post which I now can’t find, when I brought up Smartware for my Passport drive after the update I had trouble with the gray tabs for Backup, Retrieve and, within Settings, the Drive Settings. The reply to that post said click on the remote drive icon. That solved it all right. But why was this change in basic operation even necessary?
I thought it might be due to mulitple drives but I have only one connected. And just like the user in the post that disappeared, I thought there was something wrong with how my update was installed. I spent several hours trying to reinstall and rebooting, as well as disconnecting and reconnecting the Passport drive.
