Specifying a name for your drive

Use the Set Label dialog to specify a name in the customizable label of your drive. The name that you specify remains on your drive even when it is turned off or disconnected from your computer.

To specify a name for your drive:

1. In the Set Label box, type a name for your drive.
2. Select or clear the Invert label check box to establish the label presentation that you want—dark text against a light background, or vice versa.
3. Click Save Settings to apply the label to your drive.

After naming your drive:

1. Click the other buttons to password protect and register your drive:
   • Security
   • Registration
2. After password protecting and registering your drive, depending on the version of the WD SmartWare™ software you installed, click either:
   • Continue, if you installed the full version of the WD SmartWare software, to close the Drive Settings dialog and display the WD SmartWare Home screen.
   • Exit, if you installed the drive management version of the WD SmartWare software, to close the Drive Settings dialog.

     In this case, opening the WD SmartWare software displays the drive management Home screen with a Settings tab for performing the rest of the drive management functions.
