My Product: My Book Essential Order WDH1U10000N Model WD10000H1U-00 Serial [deleted for privacy] The HD inside: WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB Caviar Green SATA / 8MB Cache WD10EAVS S/N: WCAU4A512412 MDL: WD10EAVS-32D7B1 WWN: 50014EE101C79102 DATE: 30 MAY 2009 DCM: HANNHT2MAN LBA: I Need to download the firmware in order to fix my 9 months old external HD, Its not an enclosure problem, already tested with other HD and works fine. I try to connect the HD directly in my computer and ii recognized it via setup, but when I try to start Windows the PC crashes. A professional and a personal friend ask me to download the firmware in order to fix it, but I navigated this site for more than 6 hours and the firmware of “My Book” don’t show up. Any Help will be appreciated. Good morning, I just bought the 1.5 TB My Book Essentials on Sunday. When I plugged it in, I had automatically clicked on the Windows 7 'install hardware'; dialog box where it proceeded to incomplete the installation (co&hellip. Hi, Please kindly know that WD My Book is a device rather than a simply driver, so you’d better download the latest driver for Windows 7. Does it show up in the Device Manager? *Sorry for my bad English. As far as I can tell, the firmware for the 2.0’s hasn’t been updated there is no firmware update to download. What your drive shipped with is the current version of the firmware. The firmware updates available from WD only apply to the previous generations of My Book Essential. Of course, opening the case and connecting the drive directly to your motherboard through SATA has voided your warranty, so whatever the problem was that was causing your computer to suddenly crash after 4 months, I think you’re on your own here now. ![]() It’s interesting that you say the drive was 9 months old, and yet the HD inside it is only 4 months old was the 9 a typo, or are you trying to change the drive inside the enclosure? Because, if you’re trying to either switch the drive or to remove the VCD partition from it, then it won’t work when you put it back in the enclosure. The VCD is needed for the drive locking functions of the MyBook. If you’ve removed the VCD from the EAVS, then you can now only hook it up to a SATA port on the motherboard and use it as an internal – the enclosure is no longer any good to you. First thanks for the reply RoofingGuy, but there you miss some things: My HD IS 9 month old (almost 10) the production date is 30 MAY 2009 not 2010, so its not 4 months old. I don’t need the Firmware of the enclosure, it works fine with other HDs, I Need the Firmware of My HD WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB Caviar Green, SATA / 8MB Cache, WD10EAVS, S/N: WCAU4A512412, MDL: WD10EAVS-32D7B1. I don’t need Updates, I just need the original Firmware, and it don’t show up in the site, not in the my book section, and neither in the HD section. Any Help will be appreciated. 2009 not 2010 My mistake.:smileyvery-happy: And I don’t get why the firmware for a Caviar would have been in the MyBook section in the first place – I’m not surprised that it’s not.
