Forum Motherboards & Memory : Abit Activating a WD 800B008 without a CD

Hello,
I have an old (2006) WD 800B008 External hard Drive, never used. I have no software. Is there software I can download onto my computer so I can use the hard drive. I'm only moderately competent with this stuff, so no tech talk, please! Brenda

There are no drivers for that. Either when you plug it in it works, or doesn't basically.

If you go into Disk Management (Control Panel > Administrative Controls > Computer Management > Disk Management) does the drive show up in there?
