USB Mount Western Digital "My Passport" not possible

Postby Perran » 06 Jan 2018, 12:37

Hello Music Lovers !

I have tried to install a SSD USB disk of make Western Digital,
"My Passport", 512 Gb.
SSD is obviously a good candidate for RuneAudio, silent
and low power consuption compared to traditional HDs.
This family od SSDs has a Virtual CD Drive configured, in which Sw
for access Control etc is stored.
The Sw might be removed, but not the VCD, it is configured in the SSD firmware.
All as per WDs saying.
In Windows, the VCD has the label E: and the disk itself has label F:
At Automount in Runeaudio, the VCD is mounted as a CD (/sda2).
When I add another mount, the meny for NAS appears, which I assume
is applicable for networked devices only.
It seems like the VCD "hides" the SSD to be mounted.
I have tried to find a way to swap the drive letters between VCD and disk, but no success.

I have got a traditional HD, WD Elements, 2 Tb, that mounts with no problems (does not have a VCD).
Btw, when attempting the SSD mount, I already have a 16 Gb USB stick properly mounted.

Any ideas for "work around" ?
