I have just had to reformat my laptop and now cannot connect to my drive to access file history to restore backup
the drive is connected to router with network cable
I can access drive control panel using IP address
I can access files using my book live app.
The drive shows in network as a media and storage device but not under the ‘my computer’ section.
When I seach for drive using file history it cannot find it.
Laptop has correct workgroup name
Please help, been at this for hours without any success at all, i just don’t understand how I can access drive control panel and via the app but not as a device recognised by file history.
It is soon going to be ‘my book live in the garden via a window’ !!!
I am not just blaming MBL, my laptop will be in the garden with it!
The file history is on the MBL, I can browse it using the WD my cloud app.
If I type \mybooklive into explorer I get nothing, in a browser it takes me to http://mybooklive/UI/login where I can login to setting.
I just don’t understand how I can see it everywhere apart from where I need to for it to work correctly (In the ‘Computer’ section of ‘Network’)
If I can’t connect to it using file history it means it will take many hours to drag/drop the files I need to transfer back and also that I cannot use it for future backups.
