It keeps asking for drivers duiring win7 install. I point it to a usb drive where I copied the folder per manual but it will not work. 1 HD @Sata 0.

The only drivers i loaded were on the disk that came with it. Do a google search. i think i recall someone else having this problem and solving it.

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 couldn't get it to work at all. The disc they provided didn't have drivers for Win7 and the Web site the directed me to supposedly had the drivers, but no installer software was provided.

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

Never updated the driver for my drive. Sorry not having the anwser for this.

It auto-detected and istalled in Win7 for me. I think Windows supports and is bundled with most "stardard" drivers (eg. FTDI?). If it didn't detect/install I suspect you either have a conflict(check device manager) ot the device is broken.

Not an expert but whenever I have installed new HD I have just needed to format it... Never needed updated drivers with my old Vista machine...

Drivers automatically found and downloaded for Win7 32 bit no problem. I was not able to get drivers for Windows XP.

a driver has to be downloaded or installed from the dvd that comes with it in w-7 as soon as you plug it in it wants to look and install hope this helps ps it works great

everything should work with windows OS. drivers should be automatically downloaded with it. I have windows 7 so I cannot confirm this.

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

I installed mine in a windows machine with sata 6.0 cables (sata 3.0 cables would also work). The drive didn't come with a driver disk. Windows recognized it.

I left my sad attached to the SATA II port, installed the IO Crest card, and then started up windows 7...it detected the card and I installed the drivers. Shut down the system and moved my SSD to the SATAIII port. When rebooting go into the bios and double check that your boot drive is still correctly set. Mine changed, probably because I have multiple drives. After making sure the correct drive is set as the boot drive, win7 came up fine.

I'm using Win 7 G4 bit also. And Yes, I needed to load special drivers, for configure the disk for boot I did the following: 1) Create a new windows installation but just for load the drives that the card's cd have. You can see the drive but can't use it. Reset.2) Create again a new windows installation. Select the new drive, format it and use it.

You may have to load the device driver from the disk that is included, although I did not have to with the two windows 7 computers I used it on. Both of those computers were connected to the internet and could just download the driver from the internet without using the disk.

It loaded right up on my Windows 7 laptop which is 6 years old. Unless you are using XP/Win98 there won't be a driver. Did you plug in both cables?

I don't understand your question. Are you saying that you lost the instructions for the Rosewill external drive? If you have placed the hard drive into the enclosure correctly and Windows 7 is not recognizing the drive then I ask "How is the drive connected to your machine"? If it is eSATA then I know that some motherboards seem to have a problem. The best solution is to use USB and there should be no complications. Please clarify!
