The my book has a hidden partition for smartware, you can map it using \mybooklive\smartware.

[MYBOOKIP]\mybooklive\smartware in Browser?!? That dont work
And no there is no folder… it was pre edited in folders cause it was a gift for me
I have just bought a My Book Live 3TB NAS Drive. Â I have mapped the public folder (which has Music/Video and Pictures already listed as subfolders) I also mapped the Smartware folder that was on my drive.
I am running windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (Fully updated), My NAS drive is running the latest firmware (MyBookLive 02.32.06-006 : Core F/W)Â and I downloaded the very latest smartware (version 1.6.4) only today.
When I run smartware, the My Book Live shows up (and I can open dashboard/properties etc) but under it it just says
“No writeable WD SmartWare partition found” and the Backup and Retrieve tabs are greyed out. Â
I have tried re-installing the Smartware software, I have rebooted both my PC and my WD Drive but it always comes up the same. Â The quick view shows my dirve is their, I can see it in file explorer (and it is mapped).
Can anyone help, I have read the forums which is why I have tried all the above, any other ideas?
I just installed the same software on my new windows 8 laptop and that worked fine, backed up and everything, so its just my windows 7 desktop that isn’t working
