    Cavairy external hard drive help!!!!!!

    Hay, can anyone help me i just bought a cavairy 1 tb external hard drive. The instructions that came with it said that it should automatically download the needed drivers. And that is pretty much what i thought it would do, seeing as how thats what my other externals did, and what this one tried to do, and failed i tried to contacting cavairy tech support but all thay would say is that it would do it on its own, that would be nice but unforchunetly it won't what can i do please help!!!

    How is it connected to the PC, via a hub or?
    What does 'it tried to do.......(drivers?)' mean?

    Its connected straight to my usb port on my computer. When its connected it either does nothing, or that little pop up comes up and it says identifying device, device unknown, then it says something like would you like to browse you hard drive for needed software or download needed software from the internet, thats when i tell it to download it, then it says scanning internet for needed software, at this point this is when my other devices start working but this one just says no software found. According to the companie the hard drive is plug and play and no drivers are needed but i don't know its not working and i'm at a loss, got any ideas ?????

    another PC

    If you tried it on another PC with the same result, it, or the cable is
    faulty.
