Safely Dismounting the Drive

CAUTION! To prevent data loss, close all active windows and applications before
shutting down or disconnecting the drive.
Use the My Passport icon to safely dismount the drive:
1.
Right- or control-click the My Passport icon on the desktop and select Eject "My
Passport Edge":
You might hear the drive power down.
2. Wait for the drive icon to disappear from the desktop before disconnecting the drive.

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
ID 7.
