getting rid of that CD thing with WD harddrives

Cultist · 07-08-2011, 02:47 PM

Does anyone know how to delete that virtual CD thing that is built into WD harddrives? Nothing I've tried works and I can't find anything about it online. If it can't be deleted, can it at least be disabled so that I don't have to look at the cd icon every time I plug in the hd?

Try formatting on wins computer, linux should still be able to read & write to it, if you format ntfs.
Everyone is finding that problem

I assume you mean on windows this happens??

Make a autorun.inf folder instead of a file.
