My old computer died,but fortunately I had "My Book Essential 160G" plugged in. Now with my new computer with the "My Book.." plugged in it is not copying my work. Did I ever have a disc for it, I don't remember. Is there one for it that makes it copy? If not, what do I do? Is so, where can I get another? thanks from a 76 year old dumby.
Hello ! When you plug in the Western Digital, do you see the driver but not your files ? In other words, is the drive letter present, but no files ?? When you say not copying ... are you trying to copy and get an error ???

My new WD 1.5 TB Homebook Essential will not allow the computer to go into "sleep" mode. When I put the computer into sleep, after about 10 seconds, the WD drive "wakes up" the computer. I tried changing the settings on the WD drive by un-checking the box by "Settings--Pause backup until computer is idle," thinking this would prevent its activity by not performing a backup when the computer is idle, or asleep. I want to go back to being able to having the computer to go to sleep when I am not using it, and not have to shut it off in order to make it be inactive.
