Plug and Play hard drive's?

#1 (**permalink**) 07-23-2006

I have been having trouble getting either of my two plug and play removable hard driveâ€™s to function, Vista asks me to install the driver software and, seeming as it plug and play, I have none.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

From what I understand there are going to be a lot of drivers introduced into the OS up until the release. I've had a lot of driver issues when installing and this is with 3 year old hardware.

What kind of drive is it? More info please if you haven't solved it

I have now solved my driver issue, but not entirely. I formatted the drive with an NTFS file system and if I plug it in then restart it is recognized.

I also have a plug and play usb pen drive, and an iPod which both work flawlessly these are formatted with FAT32 file system this may be relevant, but Iâ€™m not an expert.
