I just bought another WD My Book Essential and it will not recognize in my computer when the first one is plugged in, I looked under “Manager”, the computer can see it. I also opened the WD utility and it sees the drive but wont give it a letter.
I tried switching USB ports, changing the drive letter(upon restart my first drive changed its letter) I still cannot see the 2nd drive when the first one is present and vise versa.
Any help on this matter would be great.
Side note, is there a power adapter that will work with these in Germany?
