On receiving my external Hard-drive,
My Book Essential
External Hard Drives
2 TB, USB 2.0
Model: WDBAAF0020HBK
I removed the smartware by following the steps mentioned on your site…
BUT the Capacity Gauge does not work …no illumination…no lights…
is it because I removed the smartware ? …( as soon as I got it, I removed the smart-ware, so didn’t check it when it was installed…)
is there a way to make it work, even without the smartware as I don’t plan to re-install the smartware.
thanks ! 
P.S… …when the lights are ON , they’re supposed to indicate used space …right ?
because I filled it more than 25 % so expected 1 out of 4 lights to get ON …but nothing happened …
