Answer» I have this hardrive all the markings are ripped off it and it works inside my computer some what. Some how it didnt have a driver for it and I was going to get one for it ,but I dont even KNOW what brand it is. I googled some Hardrive finders and I went to one ,but I'm not sure. This one may be too old its a 15 GB hardrive small for today but anyways if anyone could help me please feel free too reply.1.Start
2. right click my computer click MANGE
3.you will be prompt with computer management
4.go down to device MANGER , you will see a long list of your hardware , and components
5.click disk drives , DOUBLE click the drive you see
6.what ever you see in that box is your hard drive , if it says WD its western digital ......
But just post it in here and i will hunt something down for you , even if its the initials , just post it , in fact you can even try google it yourself and see what you find.....
another thing that sticker is your warranty , unless it is expired , you can kiss a replacement good bye if your HD fails.......One more thing . . . hard drives don't need drivers.I didnt think hardrives had drivers but the thing is when I plug it in and turn it on it has windows xp on it. When I turn it on the windows XP program loads up to the start screen where it prompts me to install recommended hardware or connect to the internet so does that mean I need an update for it? I cant connect to the internet in the first place because I dont have the internet installed on that hardrive. I tryied to click cancel but it prompted me 2 seconds after I was planning on downloading a program to my keydrive and running the updated program their. I was also planning on making it a slave to my 40GB maxtor. I dont know theirs no markings on the reflective case its almost oval shaped in design not like a normal square one. no serial codes I got it from work tho and the majority of the computers are compacts thats all I can tell you about it.So you mean it already has XP installed on the drive? HOOK it up as a slave to your current drive and format it.
