Did you even bother to read my post properly? I'm thinking NOT!!

I clearly stated:

"3: Firmware upgrade would be great, but you can't update the firmware
on a device if windows can't install the drivers for it, as it's an
"unknown device"."

Let me point you back to your own words, where you "clearly" stated in #2:
<quote>
The drive is detected by windows but windows then says that it doesn't have any available drivers for it.
</quote>

And since I clearly see no mention of which connection/install method you I leave you with this.

The correct USB drive installation process is as follows:
1.. DO NOT CONNECT THE DRIVE
2.. Install the software, PC or MAC
3.. Power down the system and connect the drive, if there is a hub DO NOT use it at this time
4.. Power on the drive FIRST
5.. Upon system power up, the system will detect the drive and install the drivers.
If the system displays the drive as an Unknown Device in Device Manager, double-click on it, and select Install Driver. This should install the drivers, and the drive will appear under CD-Rom. If you recieve the message that "Windows is already using the best driver for this device," simply highlight and remove the Unknown Device. Reboot the system and/or turn the drive off and on to refresh.
