    Multiple Users for External HD
    « on: July 06, 2010, 02:39:20 PM »
    Is it possible to use a WD10000H1Q-00 (Western Digital) on two separate PCs? I tried downloading a driver from WD website. It downloaded driver accessory files, but not the installation "setup" executable. Anyone know how to do this?

    If it's a usb drive you shouldn't need any drivers - just plug & play.

      Yes - USB, but when plugged in, it does not show up as a device in My Computer. So, I can't open the external HD folders to drag files over to PC
