WEBVTT

00:00:00.799 --> 00:00:08.360
okay so we're going to be trying to set up the WD My Book Elite so we're going

00:00:05.359 --> 00:00:10.519
to try and follow their three easy steps

00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:14.679
now I've taken the liberty of plugging in the power cord under the table

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:19.840
already so that I don't have to do that on camera but we're going to plug the

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:23.439
power supply into the back of the unit

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:24.800
right about here DC in and then the next

00:00:23.439 --> 00:00:27.599
thing we're going to do oh I saw some lights go on inside the next thing we're

00:00:26.439 --> 00:00:31.840
going to do is we're going to plug in the USB cable here which I've already

00:00:29.759 --> 00:00:38.040
pluged plug into the back of my test bed PC okay and then I'm going to press the

00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.040
power button everybody hold your

00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:47.480
breath okay the activity LED is going

00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:55.719
aha here we go so on the screen now I have two two menus I have one autoplay

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:57.359
for the virtual uh CD drive smartware uh

00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:06.280
yes I would like to allow the computer to run that so here we go backup files or setup

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:08.880
Drive which would you like to do oh cool

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:13.520
look at this you just Mouse over and it shows different

00:01:11.080 --> 00:01:17.880
stuff that's kind of neat little animations to help you

00:01:15.759 --> 00:01:22.439
figure out what everything is okay fine setup Drive okay so you can back up your

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:28.640
file security data automatically check for okay yeah let's install that

00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:33.119
accept Okay and then the other menu that came up was just to access the data on

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:36.880
the drive itself where obviously there's no there's no Wizards involved or

00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:43.399
anything you just copy paste and that's your one tab of storage so actually let

00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.759
me see what it says so it is 930 gigs

00:01:43.399 --> 00:01:50.000
once it's formatted okay so here the smartware was

00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:55.000
successfully installed let's continue the set up okay label uh let's put a

00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:59.360
label on this okay here actually here cameraman look at this okay so the drive

00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:04.799
came like this which looks as far as I can tell like a p like a piece of paper

00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:08.399
but you can see it is changing now so the way the display works it actually

00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:13.560
doesn't seem to need any power it's like e in or something so let's set a label

00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:18.959
of Linus

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:23.280
is cool and let's see if it'll do that

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:28.560
okay uh save label name

00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:31.920
oh okay yes lus is cool okay awesome and

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:34.640
then I can set a password The password

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:40.599
should be lonus and then the verify is lus

00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:45.959
cameraman's totally in my way here and then the hint is me I understand save

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:53.280
the security settings okay I don't want to register the drive so um

00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:57.920
continue okay there we go so now we have the the software set up here's our

00:02:55.239 --> 00:03:03.680
little visual indicator that shows nothing oh cool cool so this shows

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:07.879
my C drive and it shows me how much is pictures how much is other music movies

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:13.360
documents and system and then how much is free and then this is my

00:03:10.959 --> 00:03:17.920
book and so the additional files would be the built-in software so that we

00:03:15.519 --> 00:03:22.560
didn't have to use a driver CD and then as soon as we start to fill it up with

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:26.319
uh with photos and stuff so why don't we try dragging a couple over there I guess

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.480
this should populate maybe it takes a little while

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:34.640
though so give it some time so back up you can actually run the backup at any

00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:38.959
time and then retrieve so you can retrieve a backup here are your backup

00:03:36.799 --> 00:03:42.200
volumes that's pretty cool this has gotten a lot better since the last time

00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:45.920
I used one of these drives I'll tell you that much okay so that was pretty much

00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:51.480
it thank you for checking out our little setup guide on the my book Elite and

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:57.519
