*
turned off.

hub or router.
Note: The dual-drive My Book World Edition II is preformatted for maximum capacity
as a large, spanned single volume. To change the format to RAID 1 for additional
protection, see "Drive Management" on page 41. If WD Anywhere Access is not
currently installed, you must first run the Initial Setup wizard (see "Appendix A -
Shared Storage Manager" on page 24) before you can access Drive Management.
Once configuration is complete, you can start saving files to the device, or return to
the beginning of this manual for instructions on setting up the device with
WD Anywhere Access for remote file sharing and management.
* Some file formats may be copy protected and cannot be shared by WD Anywhere Access. For a list of these file types, search
