So I got a WD passport essential for free. (Lost and found at work, no one claimed it for a long time, manager told me I could have it.)
I cannot get into it, since it has Smartware on it. We could've used this to find the owner, but no getting into that.
So I originally thought it would be just a regular 2.5 SATA drive which I could take out and use as a spare drive. Apparently not. Seems like the USB is integrated into the whole drive, so no SATA ports.
Anyway to make this into a boot drive? I want to run some tests on some clean installs of windows, and cannot, since its only USB. Any tips?
