what do you mean install data. You don't install data, you just use it. And you need to reinstall all the programs/apps.

I see all the backup data files on my passport drive, and want to install it back on my desktop drive in the places it was before, but don't seem to ba able to do that, installed WD smartware software on my desktop, which should enable me to do that, but the the restore tabs don't work
