Exhibit 99.3

     STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND
                 CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS

        I, Matthew E. Massengill, state and attest that:

        (1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
reports of Western Digital Corporation, and, except as corrected or supplemented
in a subsequent covered report:

            -  no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
               fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
               the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials,
               as of the date on which it was filed); and

            -  no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary to
               make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
               circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
               the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case of a
               report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of the date
               on which it was filed).

        (2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's
audit committee.

        (3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

            -  the Annual Report of Western Digital Corporation on Form 10-K for
               the year ended June 28, 2002;

            -  all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
               definitive proxy materials of Western Digital Corporation filed
               with the Commission subsequent to the filing of the Annual Report
               on Form 10-K identified above; and

            -  any amendments to any of the foregoing.
