Since Lion install, cannot write to My Book Essential

My Time Machine will no longer automatically backup since I installed Lion.

When I try to manually perform a backup, it says “No writeable WD SmartWare partition found”

I pretty much a novice when it comes to this stuff. Anyone have a solution out there?

I emailed support and they told me they are testing Lion compatability but couldn’t offer an ETA.

Maybe I just need to wait??

Thanks!

Hello,

You are correct, you will need to wait until WD release a compatibility patch for LION.
