Please HELP! just purchased WD MB 2TB & reformatted the HD. It is showing up as Drive E. 

Properties > Used Space is 188 MB, so the WD propritory soft ware is still present

but I did not SET-UP a Password & does it have AUTO BACKUP functionality??

The LED is blinking ON/OFF.

Seeing as I FORMATTED the disk, I am wondering if I stil have this functionality, if not, how do I fix it?

Windows 7, 64 bit, bla-bla-bla.

Many thanks for any advice as to how I might get back square 1.

Thank you. Please allow me to tax your generocity further. 

Being a novice in these matters, please! there are a stack of different MB’s out there & non seem to match my MB. 

The # on the back of unit is as follows SERIAL # [Deleted] & the MODEL # WDRACW0020HBK-EESN

Its just a plain old MY BOOK… your guide to essential backup.

Please mail me the actual URL for the smartware for this MB.

Thanks in advance & have a good one.
