Existing HD crashed. I have my book. What next

Hi all, I have been running my book on automatic backup for a couple of years. My internal HD quit. I purchased a new internal HDand installed it , now I do not know how to restore the new hd using WD my book. I have never had to do it, and I need help. Thank you, ennis

Hello,

After you have the OS running on your new hard drive all you need to do is connect that my book and restore your files.

IF you used WD Smartware to create the backup then you need to install WD Smartware in order to retrieve your files.
