Re: Clearing My Book Hard Drive

Unfortunately, I cannot find a model on the unit. It is listed as My Book Essentials USB 3.0, 2 TB. Hope that helps. Thanks.

It sure does, as this is the wrong forum.

Nevertheless, all in manual or in  http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/291/session/L3RpbWUvMTQzNTI5NDcxMS9zaWQvbzdTLXNRcG0%3D

My PC just died and I will be getting another, but I would like to clear everything from My Book HD before copying anything to by external HD. How can I start with a clean slate?

Hi there and welcome to the WD community.

What is the model of you My Book unit ? Is this a USB drive or a network device?

‘It sure does’ what?
