I love my WD My Book World. It is old but it has outlasted 2 laptops. Now that I have a new laptop, I am unable to get to my shared folders. I’ve searched through the Knowledge Base and WD Community but I cannot find a solution.
I have the drive connected via hardwire to my laptop and it shows up under Network. It only shows MyBookWorld but not my 3 shared folders. When I click on it, Windows Edge opens up and takes me to the WD Login screen. I can get in and see/change the settings and can even see the shared folders but I cannot get to the files on them.
I’ve installed WD Link and WD Drive utilities but neither of them detects the drive on my Windows 10 pc. I’ve even tried on a Windows 7 pc.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how to get them back? I have no problem upgrading my drive to a more recent model if I have to but I need to know that I will be able to move my files over and access them.
