I have a "WD My Book Essential" external USB hard drive. I have been using it on my Windows computers; it has back data on it which I want to keep on it. The drive is partitioned into a "F:" & "G:" drive on the W7 computer, where the "G:" drive is password protected. There is a Windows "unlock" app.
I hooked the WD external drive to my Lubuntu computer via USB. All I can see is the partition that is not password protected; it contains the Windows WD apps. The other partition does not even appear to be present.
How would I access the the password protected partition? Is there a "password unlock" app available? I find nothing looking at the WD website- no drivers or support.
Should I purchase another USB external HD for Linux only and, if so, what? My intention is to backup the Linux computer to the external drive.
I am a new user of Linux.
