Unfortunately, after updating firm ware and smartware my new My Book died  when locked. How can I start it again? Is there no software starting My Book from the Mac’s desktop?

STILL WAITING.

Have you guys fixed it yet? And also found a fix for the drives like mine which was “bricked” by YOUR update?

Please keep us posted whether you have a fix for it, and if not, what you are doing to solve it.

So its a whole month now and you still haven’t resolved this.

Tell all your friends not to by WD.

Seems like WD have a habit of spotting faults, but failing to actually fix them.

Many people have been waiting several months to get a version of WD Drive Manager that works with Snow Leopard. WD’s answer is to not use Drive Manager until they release a working update - that still hasnt happened!!!

Dont hold your breath guys.
