Hi,

Does anyone know where i can get a driver for my Vista 64 bit computer.
So that i can use my Western Digital WD 800 IDE hard drive (in an external case).
As i have tried to locate a driver for it, but i cannot find the USB to IDE driver as required when i connected it.

Thanks.

Gary

I really dont think you will be needing any drivers while using your HDD as an external source.... if its connected via USB then it should be plug and play same goes for connecting via external Sata
however should you need to obtain drivers then http://www.wdc.com will be the best place to start looking

Hi,

Many thanks for the reply.
I had a look around the Western Digital site, and i found out that the software is not compatable for Vista.
And with the drive everytime i connect it, it searches for a USB to IDE adaptor.
