This page contains information about installing the latest Western Digital (WDC) External Hard Drive driver downloads using the Western Digital (WDC) Driver Update Tool. Western Digital (WDC) External Hard Drive drivers are tiny programs that enable your External Hard Drive hardware to communicate with your operating system software. Either the cable, or the hard drive is damaged. Otherwise a modern OS like Windows 7 shouldn't fail loading USB drivers for a drive. Start with changing the USB cable. If it doesn't help, you could try changing the casing, but I doubt that the inner electronics of the casing is the problem.

Western Digital My Book Driver Download Windows 7

Hi Fani,

• Were there any changes made before the issue?
• Have you checked the issue with any other USB or external drives ?

As all the hardware devices have drivers associated similarly USB devices also have it. Sometimes proper drivers do not get detected after the initial installation so reinstallation of the drivers helps resolve the issues.

You may check after uninstalling and reinstalling the USB drivers if you are able to connect. You may disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:

a. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.

b. Click System and Maintenance, click System, and then click Device Manager.

Note: If Control Panel is in Classic View, double-click System, and then click Device Manager.

If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.

c. In Device Manager, double click to expand Universal Serial Bus controllers, right click on the Host Controller, click Uninstall and click OK.
Check if at all there is an exclamation mark along the driver, it suggests issues with the driver installed.

d. Repeat the step b to uninstall all items under 'Universal Serial Bus controllers'.
Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will reinstall all USB controllers automatically.

If you still face the same issue then you may check for the updated USB device drivers using windows update. Refer to the below link for assistance–
