Yesterday, I formatted My Passport Essential 500GB and reinstall my OS… Now I want to install WD SmartWare that I downloaded from WD Support but it always say The Program Doesn’t Start From Drive or something like that…

I know it means I must run the software from the drive that given… But I already formatted my drive and it’s all gone… How can I install WD SmartWare now?

Thx

Hello, i recently bought the WD my passport 500gb installed it and it worked fine. however, yesterday I went to get onto it but i couldnt. I set a password for the passport when installing it so each time i plug it in to use it i type that in and it unlocks it as usual, then i go to open it but it freezes and wont let me on it, i tried the so many times a ithough uninstalling it then reinstalling it would work… but it didnt. when i go to install it it keeps on asking for a disk to read some information off of but the pack didnt come with a disk and i didnt get this problem the first time i installed it.I then looked into it on this website and I followed the instructions you gave to this person but I cant get  the passport to open to extract the information onto there… wat do i do?? hope this kinda makes sense … thank you

The link to download the version for Mac won’t open any dowload page. I don’t know if it is just for me or not, but all the other links seem to work except for the Mac one. Any direct link to the download?

Thank you.

I did just that but I still receive the message “Application not started from drive”. What do I do?
