Will a SEAGATE 80 GB EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE USB/2.0 7200 RPM 2MB require a
driver to run in Vista Business? If so, do you have a link to one?
 
The only thing it needs is the USB 2.0 driver that came with your mobo
....once plugged in Vista should come up with "new device"
If it is not formatted you will need to go to
Admin.Tools/comp.management/disk management and format the drive

one more thing, Peter. Would the same procedure work for other external usb
2.0 hard drives?
 
yes.........but there are specific backup HD out there that do need software
install.

thanks. i will be purchasing a regular external, not a dedicated backup unit.
it will be used for backing up but for storage as well. thanks again and
this should take care of my question. mike
