I need to backup a WINXP pc and then move the files to a new WIN7 machine, so I emailed Seagate and asked about compatibility. I just got a response that I think will be helpful to many Amazon shoppers. Here it is:"The Go is compatible with both operating systems. You will need upgraded software that we can provide so that the drive can be used to back up your W7 PC. If you will provide the serial number of the drive you purchase we will be happy to send you the software."UPDATE 12/18/09: I also purchased this cool little hard drive, and it works seamlessly with Win7. Seagate sent me the updated software, but I didn't need to use it. I definitely recommend the FreeAgent Go!

Gerry: I've got it installed on WINDOWS 7...but never use it. I'm using it on my WINDOWS XP (another computer) and it works just fine. I've had problems installing on "7"....and if that's the only thing you have.....good luck. I was just patient and kept at it after "7" was telling me to forgot it. But I did get a correct install.

It does work with Windows 7. I had it running on that for a several months. I have upgraded to Windows 8 Pro and it is still running fine.

Sorry I am using Windows 7 and it works great. Isn't 8 like 7 can't you run it in different modes like Win 7 or XP mode? If so try that

Doubtful... it didn't work with Windows 7 without major changes to the system configuration...

I couldn't get it to work on Windows 7, or find a driver that would get it to work on that OS. I'm not sure if they fixed it, or if there is an available driver for Windows 8.

Thank you for telling me I should install Windows 7 Professional. If that's the case, then why does the text for the product say that it works with Vista and XP?

It works fine for me, using Windows 8, it's basically hardware only, I see no reason it wouldn't work with Windows 7.

On my system it's operating on windows 7 fine. On the box that it came in it does not list windows 8, I suggest that you go to Diamond.com/support and they should be able to answer any questions about windows 8, you probably should go there first.

I have the same question!! The manufacture has a list of products with Windows 7 capability but does not include this item.

THE BOX SAYS: OS SUPPORT: Windows (SP3 or greater), Windows Vista and Windows 7. Maybe you should be careful using it with an O/S not mentioned by the manufacturer and ask them ...

Last I heard (couple years ago) there was no driver for Win 7. I would think someone would have come up with one by now, though. Google around for a driver before you buy.
