Restoring the WD SmartWare Software and Disk Image

In addition to deleting all of the data on your My Book drive, erasing or reformatting the
drive also removes the WD SmartWare software and all of the support files, utilities,
online help and user manual files.

If you ever need to remove and reinstall the WD SmartWare software on your computer,
or move the drive to another computer and install the software there, you will need to
restore the WD SmartWare software and disk image on your My Book drive. To do this,
after you have erased or reformatted the drive, go to
