You may be sure I will physically disconnect all external drives before updating. The WD drive seems to work and DiskUtility finds nothing wrong with it. I don't think this is a Western Digital, I think it might be something to do with amework. There is one process running whose name begins with wd, "wdhelper". When I restart, there is no SmartWare icon in the menu. Since the WD drive has both FireWire (IEEE 1394) and USB interfaces, I guess one could try just deleting, say, the USB files and seeing whether the drive now works only with FireWire, but-well, personally I am not touching ANYTHING in THAT directory.įrom LaunchDaemons I deleted the entire WD Smartware directory from Application Support and I deleted WD Smartware.App itself. I'm thinking they might needed to have the drive work as a drive. A way to find out would be to see whether they exist on a recent-ish Mac OS X system that has never had a external Western Digital drive installed. Kenny, my GUESS would be that these files are actually part of Mac OS X itself.
