show (enable) the VCD there, or install the WD SmartWare software, then use the

Showing the WD SmartWare Virtual CD
If you got started without installing the WD SmartWare software, hid (disabled) the
WD SmartWare virtual CD (VCD), and now want to move your My Book drive to another
computer, or install the WD SmartWare software, you might want or need to show
(enable) the VCD on the other computer. Doing this would be a simple two-click
operation from the WD SmartWare Virtual CD Settings dialog (see “Showing or Hiding

Manager folder from your My Book drive to the desktop of your computer. (This is the
folder that you copied to your to your My Book drive at step 9 of “Hiding the
WD SmartWare Virtual CD”.)
If you did not copy the Virtual CD Manager folder to your My Book drive when you
hid the VCD, then use your Internet connection to download the utility Virtual CD
(VCD) Manager for Windows from
support.wdc.com .
2. Open the Virtual CD Manager folder or the downloaded utility .zip file
(WDSmartWareVirtualCDManagerforWindows-vx.x.x.x.zip) and double-click the

.zip file
