USB devices are known as Plug and Play, which means Windows usually detects devices when they are plugged in and, if necessary, automatically installs drivers.

What s New:

The SES driver is not required for your drive to be recognized by your

computer. If your drive is not recognized please see Answer ID 1708: I cannot

find drivers for my WD drive and/or my Operating System fails to recognize my WD

drive.

The SES SCSI Enclosure Services driver is different from the Virtual CD,

and the WD SmartWare software. To access many of the optional features of your

drive, you will be required to install both the SES driver, and the WD SmartWare

software. If you wish to use the drive as a simple hard drive and do not require

access to the advanced features of the drive, you can hide the VCD by following

Answer ID 3835: How to disable hide the Virtual CD VCD for Windows or Mac

OSX on a My Book or My Passport drive. Western Digital still recommends

installing the SES driver when not using WD SmartWare, but the drive will

function without it. The prompts to install the driver are part of the Windows

Operating system and will always occur when connecting a drive to a Windows PC

without the driver installed.

You can download a copy of the SES driver from our knowledge base. For

assistance doing this please see Answer ID 5419: WD SES driver download and

instructions for recovering the WD SmartWare installer.

Problem:

Windows attempts to install a driver called the SES Driver every time I

connect the drive to a computer. What is this driver, why is it required and how

can I get rid of the repeated prompts to install the driver.

Cause:

Your new Western Digital My Passport/My Book hard drive requires a special

communications channel SCSI between your PC and the drive to enable certain

features such as password protection, LED control, and access to the drives

label if applicable.

At install, the Windows operating system detects this SCSI communications

channel and attempts to install a SCSI Enclosure Services SES driver. This

driver is only used by your hard drive and is installed by default when you

first attach the drive to a computer.

However if you did not install the driver upon first install and chose not to

install WD Smartware, Windows will continue to prompt you to install the driver

each time you connect the drive to a computer. This will continue to occur

unless the SES driver is installed.

Solution:

We recommend that you install the driver by selecting the Install the

software automatically option on the popup screen. Windows will automatically

find the Windows SES driver online, and the prompting will disappear. This will

not affect your operating system negatively in any way. If Windows is unable to

find the driver you can download a copy of the driver from Answer ID 5419: WD

SES driver download and instructions for recovering the WD SmartWare installer.
