Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 2 comes without any CD.
It supposes to work with Windows XP's full driver.
Somehow my old SONY pcv-rx860 desktop computer has been behaved
differently now. Even a simple flash drive cannot pick up connection.
It might be corrupted files somewhere.
Anyway, I just simply connect both usb cable and ac power adaptor and the
rest supposes to be automatic. The devise specs says it comes with simple
FAT32 partition for the full drive capacity.
