I have bought WD My Passport SE 1TB few months ago. It was working well and I have stored huge amount of data on it. Now I have tried to plug it and the flow is as follow:
I plug drive
System finds driver F:\ where I have Unlock app, everything works fine till here
Unlock app is auto started correctly
When I enter password to unlock my drive it says that drive was unlocked but:
- no new driver appears in My Computer
- Win is not responding i.e. I may move mouse but explorer is hung - only hard reset helps
I have checked this on Win 7 and drive works fine - can access data after unlocking driver.
I made two reinstalls on Win XP but still getting the same result - when I tried to plug my driver just after installation it worked but after I installed some apps and updates it stopped.
Do you know what could be wrong? Maybe some “great” Windows upadats or something?
I’m using the same drivers as provided with drive.
I have found solution - don’t know why but there was a conflict with NOD32 antivirus app that prevents from accessing drive. After uninstalling it everything started to work fine.
