Reformat external WD hard disk when reinstall Smartware?

I reinstalled SmartWare 2.2. Should I reformat my WD external hard disc? Are there programs that must be installed on the external disc to run SmartWare? Which ones? Where do I find them?

Until now SmartWear does not react when I want to select other hard discs to add to backup. How can I select new ones to backup?

SmartWare is very very slow. Not even sure it functions…

I have win7 64

Hello Goufion,

I reinstalled SmartWare 2.2. Should I reformat my WD external hard disc? No, the drive comes ready to be used.

Are there programs that must be installed on the external disc to run SmartWare? No.

Until now SmartWear does not react when I want to select other hard discs to add to backup. How can I select new ones to backup?

What do you mean to add a new disk to backup? You mean like to backup a different internal drive to the external unit?

Check the link below for the WD Smartware user manual. Please see page 41 that has all the information about backing up with the WD Smartware
