Western Digital My Book Essential Edition  500 GB Hard Drive

Drivers for model WDG1U3200 (by 3 users)


posted by jooze on Dec 26, 2007


I had no problem when i plugged it in, but when i try to transfer a big file, say 7 gb it comes up with a error saying that there is no more space, though there are like 280 gb left, this is really starting to get on my nerves.

I even get a blue screen when i do two things at the same time, both require alot of CPU but i haven't had any problems like this before.

i didn't install drivers since it appeared to work at first so i guess my question is really, where are the drivers if any? i'm running XP SP2

It says the usual Windows thing when it was plugged in, "installed and ready for use" but ever since i started using it i've been getting bluescreens when i start to transfer stuff to it.
I have the same problem.
