Restoring the WD Software and Disk Image
In addition to deleting all of the data on your My Passport drive, erasing or reformatting
the drive also removes the WD Security and WD Drive Utilities software and all of the
support files, utilities, and user manual files.
If you ever need to remove and reinstall the WD software on your computer, or move the
drive to another computer and install the software there, you will need to restore the WD
software and disk image on your My Passport drive. To do this, after you have erased or
reformatted the drive, go to http://support.wdc.com and see Knowledge Base answer
ID 7.
CAUTION! To prevent data loss, close all active windows and applications before
shutting down or disconnecting the drive.
