I purchased a Gateway LX-6200 with Vista Premium 64-bit tonight and my problem is that it won't recognize my I/O Magic 250GB "Gigibank" external hard drive.
It worked earlier this evening when I loaded all my files off my old Gateway that was running XP. 90 minutes later, I'm home with my new Gateway and no I can't access/transfer my files off the I/O Magic and on to my new PC....
have u checked if the I/O is Vista 64 bit compatible?that shoud be in the user guide..i saw few sites and they said its not compatible with Vista..do confirm..regards!
Did you load software ? You have a 64 bit Operating System (OS) and MANY companies don't make 64bit software. 95% of PCs are 32 bit. This is same problem other external drive makers are having, Vista 64 bit was sold as "typical" PC when it's for very powerful users. Many "drivers" that talk to the equipment must be written for 64bit software. Check the companie's site to see if it's VISTA 64 bit compatible. Bet it's not ! !
