Went to the Western Digital site to look for a Vista driver for the Caviar
SE16 KS, 250GB Hard Drive installed on my PC. WD says that they do not have
one as of yet, but I can't help wondering if they are not as informed on
their own web site as to this issue. I fin it hard to believe that they would
not have a driver at this stage of the Vista release.

Hard drives don't need drivers. I have the exact drive as you and it works
fine with Vista.

Is this a secondary drive?

back-up/storage.

Gang,

I need some help.

I have two external WD 500GB harddrives. With Win XP I did not have
any problems. I could shut them down with one touch, put them in
stand-by mode etc. With Win Vista these units are running as long as
USB cable connected. I cant control them. To shut them down USB cable
must be disconnected.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Pete
