Booting from Western Digital My Book Premium Edition External Hard Drive

I have heard that it is not possible to boot up a Mac from a Western Digital My Book Premium Edition (II) external hard drive. Does anyone know if the same goes for a WD My Book Premium Edition drive (I guess it's the one previous to the (II))? I've already tried calling WD, but the support there was useless (the guy had no idea, and just said they don't support such applications).
Thanks,
Steve

I don't know if I was reading about Edition I or II, but a member here said it is not Mac bootable. There's lot's of fairly reasonable drives on the market. OWC's FireWire drives are Mac Bootable. USB drives are not.
You can also buy a regular drive and install it in an OWC enclosure. They have the Mac friendly Oxford chipset.

  • Format new 1 TB Western Digital My Book Home Edition External Hard Drive?

  • Western Digital My Book Studio II external hard drive won't mount on Mountain Lion

    I have the Western Digital My Book Studio II external hard drive.  It was working fine.  After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the disk does not mount.  I can't find any help on the Western Digital site.  Has anyone else run into this?  Is there a solution?
    Immediately, I'm more concerned about getting the data off this drive than getting it to work.  If I take it to an Apple Store with another external drive, could they transfer the data to it for me?

    Also, check the Western Digital website for software updates. They have made numerous updates recently.

  • Western Digital My Book World Edition Network Hard Drive

    Hi All,
    Does anyone know if one of these network drives will work with the Mac OS? I am setting up a Digital Photo lab at my school and would like one place where all students can store their files. We have 21 of the new iMacs i this lab .Also, can I format the drive as a Mac OS Extended drive?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    I've just purchased a 1TB My Book World Edition and went through the installation process on a Windows machine. I can see the PUBLIC connection from >Go>Network.
    I can't log on selecting the SMB/CIFS shared volume because I don't know how to Authenticate it. I have made an account or passwork for this? Or have I? Or is there a factory default?
    I've installed and I'm running WD Anywhere Backup successfully. So I have almost all the functionality I wanted except.
    I want to use Time Capsule. Presently, the 12" PowerBook is the only Leopard machine on the network, the MacBook Pro is still Tiger because I run ProTools and don't want to upgrade until the beta upgrade is stable.
    When I try and use the Shared Storage Manager via http://192.168.2.9 because, again, I do not know the username and password.
    I do want to use the ability to be able to access this drive remotely, via the internet, so do I have to make a VPN? Is so, do I have to purchase a product such a DigiTunnel or VPN Tracker? Which one do you recommend?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.

  • Western Digital My Book Premium Edition - Firewire not Working

    Hey there everyone, I thought I would write about my Western Digital My Book experience for two reasons:
    1. To see if anyone had any success getting the firewire option to work properly on their Intel based iMac.
    2. To deter anyone else from buying this drive if you plan on using firewire.
    When I bought the 320GB My Book Premium Edition from Best Buy I thought I had a great product.... why? Because the backup software included was easy to use and manage. I scheduled my first backup in a matter of minutes. As time went on I realized that this thing was just not going to play nice.
    After failing to get the Firewire connection to work I decided to contact WD's customer support department to see what they could do.
    My first call the Customer Support rep. ended with him saying that there was a known issue with the firewire cables that shipped with the product.
    "We'll get one out to you in about 3 - 5 business days."
    Well, 10 business days later the cable finally showed up. Plugged it in and I got the same result:
    My iMac will simply not recognize the drive when using the firewire option. USB works fine EVERY time but for some weird reason it just will not mount with the firewire.
    So, I called WD and they stated that the bad cable that was shipped with my drive more than likely ruined the firewire connections on the drive. So they take down my credit card information and ship me a new drive with RMA instructions.
    A week later I get the new drive. Plug it in and guess what, same issue, different drive.
    So I called WD support again and they say that the drive they sent me must be defective. Ok, I've almost had enough at this point. I tell the guy on the phone that this new drive they are sending me had better work or all three of these drives will be going back to where they came from.
    So here is my suggestion - do not use the 320GB My Book Premium Edition if you plan on using firewire. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is here so I cannot say that this will happen on other systems that do not mirror mine. But be leary.
    My brother came over the other day grabbed my so-called bad firewire and plugged in his external drive and it worked flawlessly. Bummer for me.
    *A side note:* There is a firmware upgrade on the WD site (Version 1.08a) that is supposed to resolve issues with the firewire unique indentifier. I tried it on both drives and that didn't work either.

    You and me both, unfortunately. I'm on my third WD My Book (although I have the 500GB version) and something like my sixth firewire cable. I called their support line last time and the support guy seemed extremely confident that a new firewire cable "will definitely fix my problem", but I'm highly skeptical of it.
    Same story though- USB works without a hitch, but both Firewire 400 and Firewire 800 don't work. Drives don't show up in Disk Utility or Terminal with any Firewire connection. I've gone through 5-10 hours of Apple phone support to no avail.
    The weird thing is that the drive doesn't work on my Rev A. MacBook either. Also, I can't use target disk mode over Firewire between my new 20" iMac and my MacBook (which was previously not a problem with my G5 iMac). At this point I'm getting worried that the original cable fried one or both of my Firewire ports on my iMac and/or my MacBook, although I haven't had the time or devices to test that theory yet. I'm not sure what the prospects of getting a refund for my My Book will be (since it's 6-8 months old since it was working on my G5 iMac for awhile), but it might have to come down to that eventually.

  • How do I move files from a broken Mac Book to an external hard drive

    I have a broken MacBook pro, the hard drive failed and I want to move the files onto an external hard drive.  I know I can transfer the files onto the external hard drive by running the software on the external hard drive and accessing the files on the Mac Book, but I dont know how to do it.

    How can you do that if the drive has failed? You cannot access a failed drive unless it is actually still functioning.
    To access from an external drive you need to install the operating system on the external drive then boot the computer from the external drive. You can then access the internal drive in order to copy files and folders from it to the external drive.

  • Time capsule or Western digital my book world Edition? or Synology DS210j

    Hello all and help please.
    I have a Macbook pro and the new Apple TV. I am looking for a way to:
    1. Wirelessly backup my Macbook Pro and
    2. Use the device to hold my iTunes library, so I can stream music and films to my Apple TV.
    Obviously I have been looking at the Apple Time Capsule 2GB version, but to be honest I'm a little worried about he number of users who have stated the the device has died after a year or so.
    I have also been looking at the Western Digital My Book World Edition 2TB Home Network Storage and the Synology DS210j Disk Station - 2 Bay NAS Enclosure and a 2TB hard drive.
    But reading different forums, i have read different reports of backing up and accessing music and video using the Western digital and Synology.
    Can anyone out there give me any advise - has anyone got any experience of these devices???
    At the moment the Western Digital My Book World Edition 2TB Home Network Storage at £186 looks the best value -but will it work to copy my entire itunes library to and stream it through my Apple TV?
    Thnaks for your help in advance.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I decided to return the WD My Book Drive, and not get another one.

  • Western Digital My Book Home Edition auto spin down?

    Hello - I am looking to purchase a Western Digital My Book Home Edition 1TB USB hard drive to connect to my Time Capsule. Can someone who owns this model tell me whether or not the drive will spin down automatically when connected to the Time Capsule?
    Thank you in advance.

    Yes, but the spin-down is set to a ridiculously short time frame (10 mins or less) and cannot be changed. Highly irritating

    Looking to move data from OSX 9 to Mountain Lion using external hard drive?

    Thanks.  I'd like to get rid of this OSX 9 after retrieving a few files.  If I wanted to erase it's hard drive before I do so, would powering off then on again and immediately start tapping the F10 button do the trick as it does with a PC?

  • How can I transfer pictures from my old Mac mini to an external hard drive?

    HHow can I transfer pictures from my old Mac mini to an external hard drive? Thanks.

    Normally you should be able to drag and drop them onto the drive, provided the drive is Mac formatted. Have you already tried that?

  • Mid 2009 macbook pro 13" not booting from Western digital hard drive

    So i've gone ahead and purchased a Western digital 2.5 inch scorpio black 750gb 7200rpm sata 16mb internal hard drive to replace my critical status 160gb standard drive in my macbook.
    I have followed a guide using a usb 2.0 enclosure, with my new hard drive then carbon cloner which does allow me to clone a copy of the existing hard drive, but... when i boot up the macbook holding the option key i get the external hard drive which i can select but then i go into a os x utilities screen and does not boot straight to finder.
    I get four options and one of them is disc utilities, so assuming this process in't as straightforward as i'm led to believe?
    I have partitioned the new hard drive with guid for intel macs so pleae can anyone help me before i just give up and take it to my local apple store?
    Thanks matt.

    I have just solved this problem, with a fresh head this morning i realised that the external drive was empty and the cloning process didn't complete for some reason?
    Anyhow i ran the clone again and booted externally which worked so then replaced my old hard drive with the new scorpio black and wow what a difference! I had beachballing before as my old drive was critical but now with the with the new speed 7200rpm drive its flying, very happy:-)

  • Malignant secondary boot device.  When I plug in an external hard drive which has time machine in one partition and a secondary boot device in another, the secondary boot takes over and wipes existing files.  How do I turn it off but keep the time machine

    Please help new (senior) convert to Mac Pro (OS X).  Am following the 'switching to a Mac' portable genius 2nd ed, and as it advised, I bought an external hard drive (a Mac My Word) and partitioned it with one partition for a secondary boot device and another for time machine.  Book implied I needed both.  Seemed to download OK but now when i plug in the external hard-drive it wants to reboot me fresh all over again.  How do I keep the time machine partition going but have the secondary boot device only in case of emergencies?  Do I 'eject' that partition- and if so how do I do it from outside the hard drive (I am not game to reattach it currently)

    Launch the System Preferences application (under the Apple menu) and select the Startup Disk preference pane. Set your internal drive as the startup disk. Close the window.
