| 1340889 | 2013-05-12 18:15:00 | I recently got a 1TB Western Digital external HDD. One of the utilities it installed is WD Unlocker. The system interprets Unlocker as a Virtual CD ROM which doesn't make sense to me. I have searched Western Digital's web site, I have Googled the question "What is WD Unlocker", without an answer. So, What is it? What is it for? |

| 1340890 | 2013-05-12 18:29:00 | I should mention that Windows Media Player sees WD Unlocker as a drive as well. | Vince (406) | ||

| 1340892 | 2013-05-12 23:50:00 | It maybe this. Its for security (wdc.custhelp.com) The word "Unlocker" does not occur on that page. |

| 1340894 | 2013-05-13 02:25:00 | Being a virtual CD drive makes me think that it's an installer for WD Unlocker. I've seen drives and cameras that emulate a CD drive for their software before. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1340895 | 2013-05-13 04:50:00 | It's that extra partition that caused me trouble and reformatting the whole drive cured it. Personally I think encrypting a drive is asking for trouble. I've just spent a few days searching for my daughter's passport, emailing her photos of where I've looked, etc, all because she decided to put it in a 'secure' place |
