I suggest download it, burn it, and try to boot with your mbwe drive hooked to your computer.
If i remember well, you'll see your files with no rights to make changes.
You'll have to unmount partition then mount them again to gain right access.

Here is a copy from another post (yes before helping to do this i asked someone else to help me to do the same !)

=====================
first unmount any mounts did to the mybook.

then

sudo mkdir /mybookmount
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mybookmount -t ext3 -w

you should have full access to /mybookmount
you may need to be su to access it, I can't remember
you may not need to sudo to do the mounts but just choose a mount point where your user has access.

to unmount
umount /mybookmount

depending on your system it may not be SDA, it could be SDB. (you can use sfdisk -l or partimage to see)

=====================

Feel free to make a detailed description of how to do it, i may help someone else later.

i have a intel mac so i'm be able to install windows
i'm going to read how "live boot cd" works

thank you for your help

Knoppix has a good live boot cd, do you want to try this ?
I think you won't be able to write without few commands mount, but if it works you'll see everything, then we'll deal with the rest on this post.

it' snot possible to install ssh

mybook always tells me "it's impossible to download the firmware" or "it's impossible to install the firmware, try later"
i'm beginning crazy about that!

is it not more fast to install again the sotware (from disk image)?
what can i do now?

thanks for all replys

before tonight i'll try again hoping to be lucky

I have a laptop, there is another way to change permission and finaly write on my mybookwe?

i could see all 4 partition but i cannot mount it

i didnt made any changes

i tryed to install ssh (to try to change permission then) but when i try to install it mbwe always tells me that "it's not possible to install the new firmware now, please try later"

over telnet i dont know … i try to access with "terminal application" but i just enter on PUBLIC folder …

uff this problem make me crazy cos for some minutes i was be able to write … then no more … grr

Fo what i understand, your mbwe isn't moded at all, right ? (i mean no changes made by you except using the WD Web setup)

Do you have ssh access or telnet or … ?

i tryed to instal ssh but there is no way!!!

all time the firmware is not available or "i have to try in another time" cos the firmware installation is not possible

i have the last firmware for the web intarface!

I have 500gb and i cannot use it

i tryed also to mount the hd with a USB interface .. but i cannot mount it in this way and so i cannot use it

is it a good idea to format the md4?

I'm a newbie and first of all sorry if my english is not good
I bought some y ago a mybookworld edition 500gb ethernet interface

until last week i didnt have any problem, it worked great whole days and i storage a lot of file

one day it decided to not work more …
i dont know how but i could repair it and now it works again; it had some problem with the power

anyway now it works and i can read all file (the most important things for me) … but i cannot write anything

i read all post on this forum to try to fix it by myself but i think i need help

i tryed to:
- reset all impostation with the reset button on the disk
- to delete all user and create a new one
- to create a new folder with all read/write permission to try to use it like the old one (to storage files)

also i tryed some command over TERMINAL but i dont understand really much these command; i couldnt open the /shares/internal
i have an macbook with mac os X

could anyone help me please? maybe writting me step by step what i have to do

thank you
