Q5 I am looking for a Software & Firmware (mainly about drivers) but I found nothing.

Where I can find I want ?

We don't release any firmwares.

Because the product has been already optimized with its own configurations.

IDE (PATA & SATA) drive does not need any drivers.

You just have to make a partition and format your drive for using.

Please make sure whether you had partitioned and formatted.

First of all, you must partition and format for recognizing the new drive in the Windows Explorer.

Within Win98 series, please use the Fdisk.

Within Win2000 & Win-XP, please use the Disk

Management.

When installing Win2000 or Win-XP, the installation process includes the partitioning step itself.
