Showing or hiding the WD SmartWare virtual CD
Use the Virtual CD Settings dialog to enable (show) or disable (hide) the WD SmartWare™ virtual CD (VCD) of your My Book or My Passport drive. The WD SmartWare VCD is enabled (shown) by default.
Note: If your drive is password protected and you want to hide the WD SmartWare VCD, you must remove password protection first. Then, after hiding the VCD, you will not be able to password protect the drive until you re-enable (show) the VCD.
IMPORTANT! Your My Book or My Passport drive must have the latest firmware version installed before you can show or hide the VCD. If your firmware has not been updated, the WD SmartWare software displays a Download Firmware Updater link to the WD firmware update website. In this case, click the link to download and install the the latest firmware version before using the Virtual CD Settings dialog.
