[Detale]

Well on all 3 of mine it was on the disk to begin with and on my very first one I formatted before saving it. you can the software from WD support BUT you need to register your drive first to be able to download some of the WD Tools. If you have trouble feel free to PM me your mail and ill send it to ya

Thanks Detale and sorry about the late reply. I had to stop messing with the damn thing for a while because I really want to take a sledgehammer to it.
I have tried some other stuff in the mean time and I will get any software off you just to be safe. So far I have been informed that the drivers for the USB 2.0 are provided by Microsoft and not WD (at least for xp they are supposed to be). I have a Curtis Mp3 player/voice recorder that all so works as a USB Mass-storage Device when plugged in to a USB port. It shows up as drive 'G' a split second after I plug it in so at least I know it's not my computer.

DKre8ive1 actually I did try that Button Manager but it doesn't do anything but sit on my taskbar taking up space. I'm pretty sure all it does is the same thing the Safely Remove Hardware button does. But thanks for the help sorry not to have mentioned that I didn't think it was important. As I said the hard-drive works as far as the computer is concerned, I just can't access it. I even dled a flash upgrade for it which supposedly was installed automatically and then I was prompted to removed and restart the HD.

So my next question is does anyone want to buy a MyBook 250 GB External USB HD (sledgehammer not included)?
