do you have to install the drivers onto your harddrive?

Actually, no. I have two of these...one on a Win7 box and one on a Vista box and both work fine with the stock windows drivers.

The drivers will be install automatic once that you put the receiver into your PC.

yes, of course! All you need is open USB ports. Generally the drivers install themselves, but you can also install the mfg's drivers from their disc or website. Please note that this combo is wired!

The drivers you need to install depends on what hardware you are connecting to it. If you are using Microsoft Windows, and enable automatic update and/or manually check system updates, it will install all the latest updates to your existing drivers portfolio.

should not need drivers for this if being installed as a standard SATA drive in a SATA based laptop. Make sure the bois is set properly to recognize drive and it should auto detect.

I used the disk it came with, I believe it automatically found the drivers I needed.

No drivers necessary. Just plug it into your USB port and it functions as expected. I formatted mine once by accident, but did not need to install any driver afterwards.

the user name and license keys should be on the box that the external drive came in also their is a small disc that says driver on it should be included in your box with the external drive. I installed mine a year ago so don't remember exactly how that goes now but all the information that you need is in the box or on the box to get this to install.

I have used a different computer to download the driver to a memory stick and then installed it on the other computer. Hope this helps. I'm definitely not a techie. Williebugs

No, it is plug and play. Just connect and wait for driver to install automatically and you're good to go.

Yes, you can download the driver set. Windows 7 and higher and later Linux builds should have the driver pre-installed. It was even plug and play on my RPi with wheezy.

Yes, run the CD to install the driver first before ploughing in the device.

No software to install. Windows will install default drivers and then go to the internet to find updates and correct drivers. It takes a minute or two to complete.

it should automatically install the drivers... my win7 desktop automatically installed everything and works great

It absolutely is that's what I'm running and I've not had an issue with it whatsoever. It came with a cd to install drivers but honestly once I plugged it in the plug and play took care of it naturally (though I did still install the cd, better safe than sorry).

It did not work without installing drivers, however the CD with the drivers comes with the product.

I didn't have to have drivers, it reads like a usb or external hard drive, when i plug it in. Just like my other external drives

Win8 drivers were not included on the disk. I would assume not at this time.
