Can anyone help? I have just purchased a Pikaone external hard-drive but
in order to use it drivers have to be installed on the computer it is
running on - can anyone tell me if you can get a pnp external hard-drive
and if so can you recommend one?

I just want to plug into my computers by either firewire or usb and for
the computer to recognise it as an additional hard-drive in the same was
as you would plug in a memory stick.

Thanks in advance

Sue


I've got two external hard drives plugged in one a seagate and the other a
maxtor, both with usb and running on winxp. Never needed to even look at a
driver cd - literally plug and play.
