I am trying to install another hard drive besides the one I have but can't get it to down load a driver for it. does anyone know where I might be able to find a drive or hard drive down load for the Quantum fireball hard drive I am trying to install? Any help would be a great help and very appreciated.

Hard drives do not require any drivers. Just makes sure the jumpers on each drive are set properly.

Can you actually run 2 hard drives for extra memory and is it possible? They have new hard drives at Wal Mart that come with with hard drive CDs so if no drive cd is required then why do they have them with the new ones.

The cd(s) that come with new hard drives are usually just disk utilities. If you needed drivers to install a hard drive how would you ever install the first one? It would be a "chicken or egg" scenario... you couldnt install the drivers without the harddrive being installed, and vice versa.

HENCE .. as Hankster said, no drivers.

Assuming you're running XP, right click on MY COMPUTER, go to PROPERTIES, click HARDWARE at the top, then DEVICE MANAGER. See if the hard drive is present under DISK DRIVES. If it is, but you just arent getting a drive letter when you open My Computer, you need to open the control panel, Administrative Tools, Computer management, then click on the storage / drive option on the left and you should see each drive / partition on the right. Right click on the drive that has no drive letter and i believe you want to "mount" the drive which should assign it a letter.

(FYI, im doing this from memory, treat it as a guide, not a walkthrough, lol... )

I thought I was doing something wrong when I installed it,But Now I'm sure of it. Thanks for all The Information Guys I really appreciate all the Help, I will let you know how it turns out. :wave:
