Good day, My book essential edition 500 GB supports “My Book Essential Edition 2.0 Software (All)” I formatted the drive and downloaded the software… But when the drive is connected its not recognized and when I run the setup.exe it shows the main screen of the software but with blanks icon and can’t do anything,!!? Can anyone tell me what’s wrong and how to make my book recognizable?? Thx
