How do I find digital signature for Western Digital External hard drive?

Question

Recently purchased 320 GB Ext Drive but cannot install without digital signature.

How do I obtain one?

Answer 1

I'm making an assumption here that you use Windows XP. If this is the case, see the link below. It explains how to give your hard drive a signature.

If you're using Windows 2000, click on the second link.

The instructions seem pretty straightforward, though, I must admit, I've never had to do it myself.

Answer 2

"digital signature?" I have no idea what you are talking about.

Please re-post and describe your specific problem, with the name of the program you think is causing the problem and all error messages (if applicable) and a list of your PC, components, and operating system.

If your machine hasn't completely given up the ghost, reboot the darn thing to see if you can re-create the problem, taking careful notes on everything YOU DO along the way. Write down any error messages you encounter and don't leave out any of the "techno-gobbledy-goop".

Then, we can try to help.

OPTIONAL Screen Capture:

Even better, capture a screen shot of every error message you get. If you don't already have a favorite screen capture program (like MWSnap), use the free one inside Windows:

Press the CTRL + PrtScr key (Next to F12) to capture the Desktop (ALT + PrtScr to capture the current window) to the Clipboard, then, open Programs > Accessories > Paint, select Edit > Paste. Then, save the file to the Desktop, with a descriptive title such as "Error MessageFromWord01" and be sure to save as “JPG”.

That way, you can send us links (from Flickr, or Photobucket for example) so we can see for it ourselves.

Answer 3

Sounds like a Windows DRM thing, contact Microsoft.
