How can I completely remove the unlocker from a WD MyBook? I want to just use the drive as a storage drive in my desktop.
Have you tried formatting the drive? Typically USB drives comes with a similar software that formatting removes.
Yes, I've formatted it, but still there is the unlocker and WD mybook software on it, that seems to be locked on it.
I can't help with the WD , but I know for a fact that it's the case with some flash drives. I contacted Integral regarding the same issue on their USB sticks . They were very helpful ( prompt response etc ) but the answer was a definitive " No , it cannot be removed " , but they did not give any technical details so I am still non the wiser.
Is there a separate partition in disk management that holds the unlocker software? It looks like it may not be able to be removed: https://community.wd.com/t/how-to-remove-wd-unlocker/8121
