For that you have to uninstall all usb drivers from computer then it automatic installed.
Right click on my computer icon then click on property then click on hardware then device manager.
In device manager you can see all driver list.Go to usb controllers then uninstall all usb driver 1 by 1 when you right click on usb driver click on uninstall.
Then restart computer then check.
If still face same issue then right click on my computer icon then click on manage then go to disk management
Then removable storage check you find there your drive if you find then explorer it.
Also check in bios that USB Legacy 2.0 is enabled.

Let me know if you need more assistance.
Thanks.

if u have a Cd rom which have a driver then u shoud download it on all computers in ur network to make it work better and faster but if there is no CD driver then u shoud read its manual

Check the drive letter assignment for the disks, and make sure it is not the C: driver.
I am assuming you can boot and then plug the disk, right?
So use the Disk Manager to check the driver letter, and change it if it is conflicting with another disk.

Yes. The case doesn't care what size the drive is. The computer is just asking for the USB driver for the case. Check the WD site for the driver for the model of MyBook that you have. That should cover it.

J'ai vista et je ne suis pas capable d'entrer le périférique.Le cd qui vient avec est conçu pour wimdows 2000 et xp et moi jài windows vista.

i try to put files into my my book

Have you installed it as the main drive, ie the one with the ops system on, or have you installed it as a secondary drive? Either way, check you have the drive set up correctly as per instructions on pack. You are not alone with this problem either, it is common with WD. Come back to me with more info re your install.

Personally, I would set it up in an external enclosure and access via USB. Much more realable that way, and it is portable for you.

Unfortunately if there is no driver for Vista, then your out of luck. Since Vista is a widely used OS and getting bigger, then the MyBook manufactures must create a Vista driver soon or they will be in danger of going out of business. Just wait and periodically check the MyBook website for new drivers.

Change the drive letters, worked for me. I have 2 WD My Books, I made one R: and one S: worked fine after that. On vista go to Control Panel -> Classic View -> Admin Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management -> Right click on WD drive and change letter. For some reason G, F, E, ect seem to run into some problems
