Installing the SES Driver
If you do not install the WD software, you should install the SCSI Enclosure Services
(SES) driver on Windows computers to keep the hardware popup wizard from displaying
every time you connect your drive to your computer.
Note: The SES Driver is installed automatically when you install the WD software.
This appendix includes the following topics:
Installing on Windows XP Computers
Installing on Windows Vista Computers
Installing on Windows 7 and Windows 8 Computers
Installing on Windows XP Computers
After connecting the drive as shown in Figure 3 on page 6, the Found New Hardware
Wizard screen displays.
Note: If Autoplay is enabled, two additional screens might appear at the same
time as the Found New Hardware Wizard screen. If they appear, close
them.
You can use the Found New Hardware Wizard to install the SES driver either:
• Automatically, if your computer is connected to the Internet
• Manually, whether your computer is connected to the Internet or not
