Restoring the WD Software and Disk Image
In addition to deleting all of the data on your drive, erasing or reformatting it 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 drive. To do this, after you have erased or reformatted
the drive, go to
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.
