I just installed a new hard drive in my PC and it's working just fine.
It's a Western Digital 80GByte and I used the Data LifeGuard utilty (Win XP)
to partition it....'looks okay....'but....
'Every time I reboot, Win XP keeps telling me it's "new hardware found" and
asks for a driver for it!
I never knew a hard drive needed a driver....'does it?! I then looked in the
Control Panel\System\Device Manager and it says the device is installed
properly.
Well, I'm using it...'but is there something I've done wrong? I've installed
hard drives before, but
always used FDisk from DOS, this time I left it to Data LifeGuard to do the
work for me. The new drive is an OEM one and therefore all I got was a bare
drive and had to download the Data LifeGuard utility from the Western
Digital website as I got no CD or floppy to help with the installation.
Any advice as to how to get rid of the mesage at bootup would be much
appreciated.
TIA.
Eos.
