I've got a bunch of Western Digital drives and the one thing I can't
stress enough is to disable that stupid, stupid WD Smatware. I hate,
hate, hate that they put that partition that acts like a cd and takes
away space I could actually use.  So plug it into a computer and see if
you end up with 2 partitions, one a hard drive the other a cd.  If you
do then go to the Western Digital support page and download the
smartware uninstaller, which won't actually uninstall in, it just
disables that partition, which is another thing I hate, you can't get
that space back.  Anyway after it's disabled until you run that program
with that drive again, it won't ever appear.

One other thing, make sure you register the warranty at the WD site
too.  I got one of those exact drives and mine showed up DOA, which is
a first for me.  So I'm going thru a warranty exchange right now, but
you never know what can happen during the warranty period, so be
prepared.

Hope that helps a bit.
