Same WD Passport problem as By sowhatbks on Oct 06, 2009

By sowhatbks on Oct 06, 2009" " As of this morning my Western Digital Ebook (mdl # WD500D32)cannot be recognized by my computer. Rather than the drive reading "my book" it now reads local disc and a window wants me to format the drive. I chose not to because I was afraid everything would get wiped out. I tried a different cable, thinking the cable had gone bad, but had the same result. A quick and incomplete Autoplay shows up but then there is nothing in the drive, and of course, as I said above, the drive is now known as local disc rather than My Book

Exactly the same problem :(
