Help with Vista and my WDBAAU0010HBK - It does not install it properly

Hey guys,

I have my WDBAAU0010HBK connected to my computer via usb 2.0 and Vista installs something, jep, it does. But it is not my WD, but something else (like a “media controller” or something). So I can not access my device, which is not really cool. The problem seems to be rather known for Vista, but I have not been able to solve it yet.

Thank you guys for your support.

Dave

Check in device manager and disk management

make sure the drive shows there

try another power outlet, preferably wall outlet
