Hi, Hi!

I have a WD Portable Harddrive, about a 160 gig that I use for all of my pictures and college work, and recently I lost a cable but got it replaced, when I did so, I plugged the cable in to the pc and the device and suddenly it tried to install the device as if it were unknown. This not being the case as it had worked previously and having tried it on 3 comps, I know that its the device. When I worked it with my laptop it said I needed an extra driver and sent me to the WD website where I could down load the driver, but unfortunately I need to register it, and the Serial Number has rubbed off.

I remember that the driver I need is the WD Sync Driver. So it can synchronize with my PC but I dont know how to get it off the site, any help please?

Thank you kindly Cheech! give my regards to Chong! Lol Jk

Here's Western Digital's driver support page.

As you did not say what model you have, I cannot drop you onto the actual driver link.

You do not need to register...

WD1000ME-00 0809A I think is the Product number, Im not 100 percent sure.

Its a WD My Passport Essential 160gb Portable Harddrive. When I click on the Sync driver, it says I need to register but I cant read the serial number on the back of my device, its rubbed off.

Pacamania,

You might need to call WD and explain your issue to them. Not sure that there is another avenue to locating the driver.
