This question was asked about the related product: WD - My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black
- A:Answer Sounds like the same problem I was having. The short answer is that manufactures no longer include Win 7. What was confusing to me was one place said yes it is compatible another said no. Quite frankly the print was so tiny I was unable to read the compatibility statement. So read what it says, if you can make it out.

Q: QuestionI connected the WD Passport to my HP Chromebook and a message popped up stating that it is not compatible. I look it up online and see that it does. Confused to say the least! Can someone please assist me?
Asked by SuSu.
- A:Answer Little late I know... but.. if you are able to actually SEE the drive, you should be able to Reformat it to be compatible. IF you can see the drive, right click on it. Scroll to Format, set it for NTFS and you SHOULD be good to go. IF that doesn't work, Contact the manufacturer, it's under warranty thru them for at least 2 years.

Q: QuestionIs this shock proof?
Asked by Sharika.
This question was asked about the related product: WD - My Passport 2TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Black
- A:Answer Good question. Do you have a lot of issues with "shock" blowing up your electronic devices? If yes, the problem is not with the devices. If no, then I'd say no, you won't have an issue of shock with this device. If this is plugged into your computer via USB port, and shock comes, it will come through your computer, so the problems will be much worse than a $40 external DVD R/W. A surge protector, with your computer plugged into it, should provide the safety ordinarily needed.
