Registering the drive

The WD Drive Utilities™ software uses your computer's Internet connection to register your drive. Registering the drive provides free technical support during the warranty period and keeps you up-to-date on the latest WD products.

To register your drive:

  1. Make sure that your computer is connected to the Internet.
  2. If you have more than one supported device connected to your computer, select the one that you want to register.
  3. Click Registration to display the Registration dialog.
  4. On the Registration dialog:
    1. Type your first name in the First name box.
    2. Type your last name in the Last name box.
    3. Type your e-mail address in the E-mail address box.
    4. If you are registering a My Book® Thunderbolt™ Duo or My Book VelociRaptor™ Duo dual-drive storage device, type its serial number in the Device serial number box.
    5. Note: For other devices, the WD Drive Utilities software gets the serial number from the device and puts it in the Device serial number box for you. You cannot change it.

    6. Select your language in the Preferred language box.
    7. Select or clear the Yes, I want to receive communication... check box to specify whether you want to receive e-mail notifications about software updates, product enhancements, and price discount opportunities.
    8. Click Register Drive.
