5)How to check the current Firmware Version and the Latest Firmware Versions of Mypassport ?

I will be really Thank full !! if you help me out !!!

If you access the Western Digital website you will find by model number the VCD and the latest firmware version for your drive.

i m getting confuse :frowning: !!! how to get that software back … have been too much things still confused :frowning: !!

i found updaters but not exactly softwares 

WDsmartware  but it its wdsmartware.exe ain opening :frowning: getting error , Application can’t start from Drive !! 

so installing it Via SWsmartware Folder :frowning: !!! their is something !!! 

It is always 465 GB, not 500GB… My passport essential 500GB also only contains 465GB.

You can download the WD smartware program on this website maybe… And it’ll fix other problem
