Hard drive drivers for windows 7 western digital

However, lets see what other user can share about this. Hi the drivers it is looking for are the Sata controller drivers as there are no drivers for hard drives. So you need to find out what Intel sata controller the motherboard has and get the windows 7 version of those drivers. During the windows setup it will give you a chance to install third party drivers this is when you have the windows 7 sata controller drivers on a usb stick and point the setup to it.

Thanks for your feedback. Hello, thank you for replying to my query. Also, I wasn't able to find a compatibility tab. Hey DonnaW2 : Billion gave you some good advice! The two WD software programs shouldn't be a problem and I don't believe you should uninstall them when working with the drivers. Feel free to post back if you have trouble finding the drivers or any other problem with the drive!

You are most welcome! Can you verify that the backup is current and not from the older date? If the update is OK and the date is the only problematic thing I'd say that you should turn to the MS's live support. If the backup is not updating I would try doing it on another external drive and see if the results are different.

Post back when you do the tests.
