Heartofgold Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I have a HP Pavilion a527x. I received a iomega 100 from a friend. I'm trying to get it to work with my Windows XP Home. I connected it to the computer the way it said. The computer will not see it. It says when I restart the computer and checked under Windows Explorer it should show up. It doesn't.I would really like to use it, so any help would be great. I have downloaded the latest drivers from their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda43 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Is that an Iomega Zip drive? An internal or external?If external, does it attach to the printer port?That drive is so old, I'd have to doubt that Iomegaever wrote XP drivers for it. Well, maybe......Every time I've ever installed an External Iomega drive,I've had to load the "Guest" software from the little floppy that came with the drive.The internal Zip 100 drives require drivers.Take a look at this site for the drivers.http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/zip100.html]Iomega Download SiteGood Luck,Andromeda43 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
