Need to find software driver for Toshiba 160GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive - HDDR160E03X?

Question

I had to reformat the drive and by doing that erased the drive which erased the driver that was preloaded onto the hard drive and now it wont connect to my computer.

Answer 1

I did some research and it says that it is plug and play, so it is ready to use out of the box.  You don't need any drivers.  In fact, I have several external hdds of different brands and none need drivers.

I have had to partition and format some of my external hdds.  Click on \Start\Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Computer Management\Disk Management.  Maybe that's all you need to do.

I can assure you that the drivers are (or were) not on the hdd.  The USB external hdd interface is standard and doesn't need drivers.
