Have you gone here and put the serial number in and checked for the drivers? Jazz

Some of those have nothing to do with the HD and must have been missing before.

Look here for drivers:

Chances are you need the chipset driver.

Hi. So did you install the Vista chipset drivers from the Euro support site? Because I tried installing the XP drivers from the PanAm site and my USB stopped working and it still could not find the Base System device drivers. Thanks
