I have the same problem with one of my LaCie's, I have 6 of them. I know the reason it doesn't work on Win7, and it's my fault. I didn't format the drive correctly when I first got it. All the others work great with all systems. So I can't blame the company.

I have the 1 Tb drive and went between xp home and win 7 pro 64 bit on 2 machines, never had any issues. Does win xp still recognize the drive?

I see no reason for it not to work with xp. Plug into an unused usb port, and use the software that Seagate provides. However, it really is time to ditch xp. It was a fine OS for many years, but without MS support it is pretty much obsolete.

I had no problem, mine was downloaded to windows seven and it works fine. Did you try downloading it manually, I am not that computer savvy, so I am afraid I am not much help, sorry

I have one and it worked fine on my old XP machine, but my new Dell has Vista and so far I can't get it to work, even afer downloading the drivers that sandisk said would fix the problem. Vista keeps seeing it as a 14 in 1 drive and refuses to except any input from it. I just gave it to a friend who's still running (and I wish I was) XP and replaced it with one by Belkin.

HiReally depends on the age of your machine. This version is for system builders, meaning you'd have to wipe windows xp and install win7 fresh. This won't upgrade an existing windows installation.If your machine is older than 4 years, I'd suggest a new machine.The install took 15gb of my hard disk

No clue about Windows *.x. I'm still running XP64 as there hasn't been any reason for me to upgrade...and when it do, it will likely be to Windows 7 and not the newer versions. If Diamond is still supporting this product, I would suggest checking their website for current driver information.

I am running Win7 Pro 64-bit on both my laptop and my main PC and its works great with both. However, you should be able to check the Samsung website to find compatibility issues with most, if not all versions of Windows Operating Systems. Sorry I couldn't have been more specific to your concerns. Microsoft as stopped offering updates for XP, so if you get a chance, you should update to Win7. I prefer Win7 over the new Win8. Win8 seems too invasive into your private life!

It was for me. I didn't seem to have any problem using it when I upgraded from XP to Windows 7.

I had no problem at all installing the drive . My problem came in when I installed my copy of Windows 7 and the old drive contained the Old Windows XP ops system. So I started getting statements that my Ops System might be counterfeit. So I spent $67.00 and ordered a full Win 7 Professional and everything is great now. Sorry I could not be of more help.Travis

That is so ridiculous that you would even have to go through all of that to get it to work. I am not a techie and do not enjoy wasting my time trouble shooting all this stuff. I just need an extenrnal hardrive for my windows 7 64 bit computer. Does it have to be this difficult to get that? Can anybody help me with this?

Has anyone asked about the 128GB with Win 7 Pro, it is not listedInstead the model # for the 64GB with Win 7 Pro (XE700T1A-A05US) matches the one for the 128 GB

It works well on ours. Our Win 7 has XP mode, but as far as I know, the XP mode is not being used at all.

The version for Windows 7 doesn't work properly, it has too many bugs. I also have a netbook that has Windows XP and the version for the XP works fine.

If you are running Windows XP with SP3 or higher, it will work. If your OS is older, then it will still work, but your system may only see a portion of the 160GB.
