Logging On with Administrator Privileges

You must be logged on to your computer as a user with administrative privileges to install or update WD SmartWare™. Although the WD drive is an external drive, the installation procedure also installs a virtual CD that has the software drivers for the drive, the WD SmartWare software, and the user documentation. This device behaves as an internal CD-ROM device, and requires administrator privileges to perform an update.
