I have 4 comuters (vista)networked via a belkin wireless modem. For some reason, one of them has suddely decided it doesn't want to read the WD drive. I have checked everything I can think of to check. Made sure the print/file sharing is open on the computer. Ive tried it without firewalls. I cannot find the drive on that computer.
Sorry to break it to you but it seems to be a normal trait of WD... Ive had 3 of them do that to me and I was never able to recover them. Best thing i can recommend is call the company and see what they will do to fix it.

I have the 640 GB My Book Essential Edition and I'm running Windows Vista. It worked initially and I stored a ton of stuff on it for a few months. Suddenly now when I go to plug it in, it tries to search for the drivers and can't find anything. I have never installed drivers, nor can I find anything online for Vista. Please help.
