Hi all,

I bought a My Passport Essential and it came with WD Smartware Software. I have misplaced the cd!  I have a new computer and want to install the software, cuz it seems I can’t access the external hard drive without installing the software on the new computer.  Help?  Many thanks. Carol

You should be able to connect the drive to the PC and access it through Windows Explorer (Computer).  Check the link below for your software.

You’ll most likely be sorry installing the Smartware. Look at all of the posts on problems here. Instead if you want backup software try this http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119&wdc_lang=en
