How come the hard drive box doesn't mention Windows Vista, but does mention Windows Xp? Will it work with windows vista on a 2008 Dell Inspiron 1525?

The toshiba canvio 1TB drive works on all versions of window and can even be swapped from one version to another s you need to download or record information.

I have windows 8 and it works with that so it will work with Xperia all the way up

Yes it works fine with Vista, probably not mentioned since most users skipped over Vista...it only had like a 3% user base!

I concur with what Augustin posted. As to the partition on the hard drive, the reasoning for it was supposedly to keep the Vista install pristine on its own partition. The better way to have done it would have been to make it the D partition. But go figure why they did it the way they did it without any documentation. But other than that and a few other minor issues this is a great laptop. :)

The ad for it states, "Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and Mac OS." I have used it extensively with Windows 7, versions Home, Premium, Professional, and Ultimate on Crucial SSDs and Toshiba, Samsung, Seagate, Western Digital, Hitachi and HP HDDs. You should have no problem with Windows 8.1. If the target device on the included USB to SATA cable is not recognized in Windows, then you can boot from the software CD and all drives will be recognized. You just select your source and target drives and proceed with the clone, which takes an hour or two depending on the size of the drives and the amount of data being transferred.

Thank you. So I ordered the drive and followed instructions for installing but it is not recognized by Windows 7 and the trouble shooting guide is useless. Then I tried it on a laptop running Vista and it started installing but finally gave up saying to contact the manufacturer. This is the 3rd time I have bought an item based on information from persons who claim to own the product that turned out to be a big mistake

It does support windows 7 and windows 8, I don't know about Windows XP and Windows Vista. I use the MSata daughter board to run windows 8 from, it is incredibly fast!

I have windows 7. I received the package and says running under windows vista and XP. This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating systemthat supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification.

Not sure, but likely since I have this working in my Lenovo T430s laptop with an mSATA slot. I am using it as my primary bootdrive, and it's working beautifully for the past 3 months. Windows Experience Index for Primary Hard Disk went from 5.9 to 7.6. It is important to note that Lenovo does not "officially" support using the mSATA slot as the primary boot drive; however, it is working just fine. I'm guessing Dell has a similar stance.

Can the Cannon people answer this question? I saw a box at a dealer that said it was compatable with Vista...no specs. show this. Is there a download available?

Hi,I still have the packaging and it lists Windows Vista as a supported OS, it also lists Windows 7 (no mention of 32 or 64 bit) but I can confirm it works well with Windows 7 64-bit.Hope this helps you in taking the plunge.Listiel W.

I connected the drive on my 7-year-old DELL laptop (with USB 2.0) and initially it didn't work, but I assumed it was because of the OS, Windows Vista: apparently the manufacturer doesn't warn you that it only works with Windows XP, 7 and 8 (as stated on the box). I tried everything, and nothing worked; finally, just casually after giving up, I tried connecting the drive with the cable of my previous one, a 2-year-old 1 TB Western Digital, and it worked, and it is still doing fine. So I would say yes, it's compatible with USB 2.0, but I'm not sure what really happened here.

My Lenovo came with windows Vista. But as far as loading drivers, microsoft dot com. I had bigger hard drive installed and reloaded all from there.

No. On the back of the box, it says 'works with Windows XP, Windpows Vista, Windows 7'

Yes this drive should have no problems with Vista. But You might have a problem getting it to work in your computer. That is because the older computers used an IDE connection and since you are using Vista I am assuming this computer might have only the IDE style of connector. This drive uses the newer connection called SATA. Check that you have this before you purchase.
