Problem for Western Digital My Book Premium ES Edition WDG1SU5000...

Mybook 500gb not read by WD TVHD Media Player

By arkangelfire on Jul 17, 2009

" "

First they worked great!!, suddenly MYBOOK was not recognized either on my Sony Vaio Laptop or my WD HDTV MEDIA PLAYER... now it is recognized on my laptop, but I cannot make it work with the media player!!! I installed the latest firmware for the madia player.. and did not work... I also "reset" it to its original settings.. and did not work either...
I do not know what else can I do... I am about to cry!! did I just wasted $250 bucks on those things?!?!! =(

For media players Lacie is the best to go with as my book is only good for storage not streaming playback to a media player.

1. check out lacie drives

Rest assured its not a problem with you media player its just a issue on how things are streamed over the usb system and Lacie makes a good improvment as far as that goes trust me i have done the same thing I have a my book terabyte drive.

Thanks
