Sorry I can't help with the real problem but I can shed a little light on the device naming. I have seen posts on this board that say that the devices changed from wd to ad between 3.4 and 4.0. There is a reason for this change but I don't remember what it is. However, it's my understanding that for everyday purposes, nothing has changed except the name.
