Restoring the WD Software and Disk Image In addition to deleting all of the data on your My Passport drive, erasing or reformatting the drive also removes the WD Security and WD Drive Utilities software and all of the support files, utilities, and user manual files. If you ever need to remove and reinstall the WD software on your computer, or move the drive to another computer and install the software there, you will need to restore the WD software and disk image on your My Passport drive. To do this, after you have erased or reformatted the drive, go to http://support.wdc.com and see Knowledge Base answer ID 7. MANAGING AND CUSTOMIZING THE DRIVE - 26
