INSTALLING AN SES DRIVER – 57
Installing an SES Driver
If you decide to not install the WD software, you must have an SES driver installed on
computers running Windows to keep the hardware popup wizard from displaying every
time you connect your My Passport drive to your computer.
Note: The SES Driver is installed automatically when you install the WD software.
This appendix includes the following topics:
Installing on Windows XP Computers
Installing on Windows Vista Computers
Installing on Windows 7 or Windows 8 Computers
Installing on Windows XP Computers
After you physically connect the drive as shown in Figure 3 on page 5, the Found New
Hardware Wizard screen displays.
Note: If Autoplay is enabled, two additional screens might appear at the same
time as the Found New Hardware Wizard screen. If they appear, close
them.
You can use the Found New Hardware Wizard to install the SES driver either:
• Automatically, if your computer is connected to the Internet
• Manually, whether your computer is connected to the Internet or not
