Hello. I’ve just purchased and attached a 2TB My Book to my Netgear Router as a backup device. The drive shows as “Readyshare” under Network settings (as well as is mapped as a network drive on my PC). It is working ok and I can manually back up data to it, but the WD utilities on my PC do not recognize the drive, so I can’t do automatic backups, etc. Do the utilities only work if the drive is physically attached to my PC? If they work in a network setting, what do I need to do to get them to recognized the drive? Any help would be appreciated!
Hello there, the WD utilities will not recognize the drive if the drive is not a network drive (My Book Live, My Cloud, etc.). Which My Book do you have?
Thank you. I have a My Book 2TB. Not a network drive.
