Anyone Know??

click on one of our sponsors! OR REMOVE ADS

I have a USB external hard drive that will not work on my computer (windows xp). In the device manager it says the driver is version 5.1.2600.0 . It works on my parents computer under driver version 5.1.2535.0 . My question is how the hell can I change the driver to that specific one. I have tried to automatically download the updates but I cant find anything that will work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only other device that works in usb is my ipod, no cameras will work, no external anything usb, they use to but just stopped one day only the ipod connection continues to work. The hard drive is an initio and there are no compatibility problems I could find. All three are new within the last year and a half. USB2. Thanks for replying
