WD My Book and Windows 7 - Solved

I had a lot of trouble getting my W7 laptop to recognize My Book. I dual boot W7 and Linux Mint. LM recognized My Book OK  BUT this was because in LM you actually include details in the FSTAB file. Then I realised what the problem was. My Book shares are configured with Users and Passwords and I had recently changed the password on my laptop. I restored the old password and now all is well.  Make sure that if you change one of your passwords, you need to change all your PCs and ALSO My Book.
