RE: External Drives DON"T WORK WITH VISTA

[Guest Chris]

im having the same problem, one WD external works fine with vista, then i go

to use my new one (formatted it using xp etc_) went to use on laptop with

vista and it wont pick it up >< i mean surely something natively supported by

xp would be natively supported by vista as well. Unless im doing something

wrong....lol...but my usb mouse and other external etc etc was all picked up

fine.

 

I plug my hdd in and it comes up installing drivers, then says windows needs

to install software for your USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge, then i click locate and

and install automatically, then it just goes into USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge

driver failed. i have googled the driver with out luck. i do not have a

driver cd. the brand is NEXT with a standard 500gig seagate drive in it... is

this something that ive done wrong??
