Unable to download a driver for an external drive Seagate - ST3160318AS.

My PC Device Manager recognizes the newly installed hardware, install a driver but all attempts have failed. No installation CD is provided with this unit. I am inclined to believe the necessary software pre-installed, but the reader will show it, or give it up.
The diagnostic analysis results indicate that all is well with the drive. It recently bought [yesterday] 'External Drive' sits like a useless piece with her running light 'on' and unusable for the lack of a "Driver".

THANK YOU EVERYONE IN MY ABOVE DILEMMA - please read on:

After reading a lot of articles and messages from the Forum on this issue, as well as information provided by the seller, I discovered the main cause of my pain was "Malware" by the name of "RESEARCH of CLARO", who himself had included in my browser and taken control through it's own 'Toolbar '. I also quite false information on the hard drive of my PC through many "blue screens". Now, I understand the import of the term 'Blue Screen of Death'.

I was unable to uninstall this rogue program that he was not on my list of "Add/Remove Programs". Nor can it be found anywhere on my OS' it Drive in the lists of Documents and settings or Program Files. I stayed at loss as to how to remove the malicious program until I came across a list of my 'Cookies' PC on which were four entries that included "Claro". As soon as these have been removed, my computer is back to character, recognized the Seagate external hard drive and the appropriate screen is appeared on the screen after that was revealed the "dashboard" which allowed for the programming of the backup of 13.3 GB of data on the internal drive which eventually ended without incident.

So, now, all right and if I never see Claro again it must be too early.

Thank you, Ray.

HDS most don't require software and drivers, if USB connected, and then try to update

youre chipset software/drivers, this includes USB with it... In addition, you are in the hd's

probably installed ok, you just need to get xp to run with him. To do this, go

to run, type: diskmgmt.msc

MSC, locate the hd, R.click on the space next to him (in black), select: create

a partition, follow the instructions in the wizard. Once her thru, R.click on the hard drive, select: Format

Follow the Wizard (using the default settings). Once her thru, L.click hard disk, go to

actions, all, search & select "make active", once through, you are, out msc...

    I watched all the cd that I got when I bought this brand new computer, but I don't see one that says Microsoft Works on it.  Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

    Download the file to a location on the hard drive, you can find and then install.

    Otherwise, you will need the installation media.

  • I'm unable to download the video driver for an Aspire 7540 - download is infected

    I'm unable to download the video driver for an Aspire 7540, because the download is infected. Who can be contacted to alert their site Acer seems to have infected files? I checked for a link to the webmaster but could not find one.

    Hi Simon,.

    The ATI for the Aspire 7540 driver was released over 6 years ago and has been downloaded tens of thousands of times. I downloaded and tested the file on our network of company without problem. I think that you can experience a false positive if your anti-virus is indicating that he has a problem.
