I have 2 1 TB Western Digital My Books and when i plug them both into the computer at the same time only 1 of them shows up. When i go to Disk Management it says one of them has a conflict with the other. Any idea on how to run both at the same time?

Try this: http://community.wdc...-time/m-p/24215


If that doesn't work, need moar infos!

- How are you connecting them? USB cable direct to PC? Via network? Through a USB hub (or other USB extension like a monitor or keyboard) ?

- What is the exact error/conflict you are getting?

Do you think they are both trying to get the same drive letter? My WD my book always takes my E: regardless of whether or not i have extra drives in.

Take a screenshot of Disk Management Console! (Start->Run->diskmgmt.msc), especially the part where it complains! Then we can know wtf is up. :D

panzer's link worked like a charm. It was trying to avoid conflict with the other drive which is the same exact model. So all i had to do was say..i dont care go online under this drive letter. Thanks much
