MY PASSPORT ELITE USER MANUAL In the Content Gauge for your My Passport drive, the Additional Files category includes all of the files shown in the used space portion of your drive properties. This space is not available for backups. Note: The small number of files that are shown in the Additional Files category when you first install the WD SmartWare software-before performing your first backup-represent the system and hidden files that your computer's operating system put there when you installed the drive. Dismounting the Virtual CD You may want to dismount a VCD. For example, if you have more than one My Passport drive with the same software connected to your Mac, multiple My Passport VCD icons display on your desktop. To clean up your desktop, you can dismount duplicate VCDs. 1. Click the WD SmartWare icon to display a list of drives. 2. Select the My Passport whose VCD you want to dismount, and then on the submenu, click Unmount CD. Safely Dismounting the Drive CAUTION!
