Any way to set an "if found please return to" message on the drive?

On the Passport Ultra, I would like to have the initial CD drive display a custom “if found please return to” message, in case my encrypted drive is stolen or lost and some Good Samaritan finds it and wants to return it to me.  I can put my name on the outside of the case, but I’d also like a software message.  This message should appear before the password has to be entered, maybe even without requiring the finder to run any software (just a file in the CD drive partition).  Is there any way to do this today, or could WD please consider adding this feature ?

Thanks.

Welcome to the Community.

Your post sounds more like a good Feature Request; the best place for this, is in the Ideas Exchange section. This way someone from WD will be sure to see it and will allow more users to support your idea.

However, I would first search and make sure that there are no other active Feature Requests suggesting the same or similar improvements. If there is, then you could add your post and vote on it.

Okay, thanks, I just did that.
