OK so first off...this drive was "created" and used on a Windows XP/7 
computer...which I have neither of so I can only assume they're NTFS 
files. When I say they're locked, all the data is "missing" or "hidden" 
by something called "WD SmartWare"...there's nothing visible on the 
drive but some folders with user manuals in various languages, and three 
".exe" files...the SmartWare one....another called "Virtual CD 
Manager.exe"..and finally one ominously called "Unlocker.exe" I've tried 
to access any and all of them to no avail....
