Windows XP SP2 with 6 USB2 ports (2 ports already connected for other
devices)

I have WD My Book and trying to install with my desktop computer.
When I connect this HD device as instructed, Found New Hardware Wizard
pops up (Hardware found: My Book) and I select "Install the software
automatically"
But it cannot install this hardware. I finds ?MyBook in Device Manager but
no drivers installed. Disk management shows no drive letter.
Looking for solution!
