You do not need to install any driver software for your Western Digital WD1200U017 to fuction properly. In fact, there is no available driver software for this device because this is a Plug-And-Play device similar to a keyboard, speaker, mouse , microphone, etc. The best thing you can do is to check the data cable. The data cable might not be connected properly or failed to function. You can buy a data cable here:
