I have a failing WD Elements 2TB USB drive and have installed a new WD My Book Essential 2TB USB drive to move files to. After installing the My Book, I ran SmartWare and was told a firmware upgrade was available. In installing the upgrade, I was told to disconnect any other USB drives, so I disconnected the Elements drive. After running the firmware update and upgrading the Smartware software, I hooked up the older Elements drive. At this point I noticed one more drive or partition than was actual;ly present shoed up in My Computer. I had also reassigned drive letters (as per a message on this board, using My Computer | Manage | Storage | Disk Management). Everything is OK except I have a drive or partition named CD-ROM 1 (my real CD/DVDR drive is CD-ROM 0) and in Computer Management it shoes as WD Unlocker (G:), below that is 30 MB UDF, and below that, Healthy (Primary Partition). When I click on it, I see the preinstalled folders and files that come on the My Book drive. BTW, the My Book drive shows up as My Book (D:), 1862.98 GB NTFS Healthy (Primary Partition). This drive has all the files I copied to it. It does NOT have the preinstalled files in the root because I moved them to a sub-folder.
Any ideas on how to get rid of this CD-ROM Unlocked partition? Is it actually on the My Book drive in another partion? When I trry to rename the Volume Label (even in an elevated prompt command box) I am denied access.
Help!!!
Thanx.
