Hva er og gjør en WD SES driver?

Jeg får feilmeldinger og jeg lurer på hva en slik driver er og gjør?

WD er Western Digital, de lager mye forskjellig lagringsmedium.
Kan høre til harddisk, både intern og ekstern, usb-dings eller noe slikt?

Kortversjonen er at en driver er et lite program som får hardware til å snakke med operativsystemet, så om du har en harddisk som ikke virker så er det fordi driveren feiler.
Ofte kan det hjelpe å innstallere driveren på nytt, noen ganger holder det å starte pc-en på ny.

Kortversjon: Det er en driver som din Western Digital harddisk trenger for å utnytte noen av de fancy funksjonene på de nye harddiskene, som passordbeskyttelse osv. Du trenger ikke denne driveren for å få harddisken til å fungere, men det skader ikke og installere den.

Problem:
Windows attempts to install a driver called the SES Driver every time I connect the drive to a computer. What is this driver, why is it required and how can I get rid of the repeated prompts to install the driver?

Cause:
Your new Western Digital My Passport/My Book hard drive requires a special communications channel (SCSI) between your PC and the drive to enable certain features such as password protection, LED control, and access to the drives label if applicable.

At install, the Windows operating system detects this SCSI communications channel and attempts to install a SCSI Enclosure Services (SES) driver. This driver is only used by your hard drive and is installed by default when you first attach the drive to a computer.

However if you did not install the driver upon first install and chose not to install WD Smartware, Windows will continue to prompt you to install the driver each time you connect the drive to a computer. This will continue to occur unless the SES driver is installed.

Solution:
We recommend that you install the driver by selecting the Install the software automatically option on the popup screen. Windows will automatically find the Windows SES driver online, and the prompting will disappear. This will not affect your operating system negatively in any way. If Windows is unable to find the driver you can download a copy of the driver from Answer ID 5419: WD SES driver download and instructions for recovering the WD SmartWare installer.
