Vista ultimate 64bit and WD Mionet doesn't work together.

[mkool]

Ok past some years I was using the XP 32bit pro and last year I have bought
a WD My Book world (network external hard drive). I used it well till I
changed to Vista Ultimate 64bit. The problem is I have saved over 500GB of
data, those data that I can't access them because SW compatible(Mionet)
issue. When I tried to install the mionet but error said mionet program is
not compatible and I send a email to WD but they said the My Book World is
not compatible with Windows 64-bit. So I'm in the dead water..I need to
access to those files from it.



I don't have clue how to resolve this. I don't have enough hard drive space
to make a dual boot.

Anyone sucessfully solved this problem?

If WD says their hardware won't work on a 64-bit operating system, that's
the end of that story. I can think of only two ways around the problem:

1. Connect your My Book World to a computer running a 32-bit operating
system and start burning DVDs.

2. Boot your current system with a Linux Live CD like Knoppix with the
external hard drive attached and use K3b to burn DVDs.

Check the manual for the My Word box. You can reset its password by pressing
the correct buttons. The reset will not damage any data on the drive.
