Showing or Hiding the Virtual CD Icon
Each WD SmartWare drive that you connect to your computer adds its own virtual CD
icon to your desktop display. Use the Virtual CD Settings dialog to enable (show) or
disable (hide) the virtual CD icon for your drive.
Note: Hiding the virtual CD icon also disables password protection for your
drive. If you disable (hide) the VCD, you will not be able to create a
password to protect your drive. Or, if you have already created a
password, you will not be able to disable (hide) the VCD until you remove
password protection.
1. On the Drive Settings screen (see Figure 12 on page 29), click Virtual CD to display
the Virtual CD Settings dialog:
2. Click:
• Enable VCD if you want to show the virtual CD icon
• Disable VCD if you want to hide the virtual CD icon
3. Click Apply VCD Settings to implement your selection.
4. As prompted, for your change to take effect, you must power cycle your My Passport
drive:
a. Disconnect the USB micro cable or FireWire cable from your drive.
b. Wait ten seconds.
c. Reconnect the USB micro cable or FireWire cable to your drive.
5. Check your desktop display to confirm the change.
