USING THE DRIVE WITH WINDOWS – 49

Installing on Windows XP

After you physically connect the drive as shown in Figure 1 on page 5, the Found
New Hardware Wizard screen displays (see Figure 13).

Click Cancel to bypass the wizard. The WD SmartWare software will install the
appropriate driver for the drive.

2. If Autorun (AutoPlay) is disabled on your computer, install the software manually:

a. Open My Computer.

b. Double-click the WD SmartWare virtual CD, which is listed under Devices with

Removable Storage:

Note: WD SmartWare software is provided in the form of a virtual CD (VCD) drive

on your My Passport drive. The VCD displays on your desktop and
behaves just like a physical CD. To view the contents of the VCD, such as
the documentation and some extra programs, right-click and select Open.
