I need a driver for my HDD, I am using windows 10, 64bit.

1. You need Windows 7 or 8
Earlier OS can support up to 2TB max.
2. Even with Windows 7 or 8, 4TB HDD cannot be used as System
unless you have UEFI bios.

The USB HDD driver is built in on XP. If the drive is not recognized try the following;

1. If you usually plug it into the front USB, Try the rear USB
2. Try a flash drive in the same USB and see if it works
3. Plug the HDD into the USB then look in Device Manager for it, Right Click and click Update Driver then select Windows Update for the location.

If you have a windows install disk, then download active kill disk.

You need to erase the hard drive the right way, you don\'t format from NTFS to NTFS to erase a HDD.

Here is a free eraser, but you need to burn it to a **** and boot to it so it runs in DOS.

You can also go to Western digital and use the tools for HDD to erase.
Once the HDD is erased, your clear CMOS, reset the setting in the BIOS such as boot order, you should be able to reinstall windows and install all the correct drivers.

as of my knowledge, there is no driver need for External HDD connecting thru USB...

Delete the '32bit' folder from your USB drive, and try again to re-install Windows. Hopefully, it will find the '64bit' folder, and will install from that folder.

PLS....give me some of this because my OS was expired and idon't have any back-up so pls may i barrow that windows ultimate OS..??? whom It may ConCern T_T

If system has a SATA HDD and you are using WIndows XP, you may need to load a SATA controller driver before the HDD controller will be recognized by the Winodws setup. Windows XP will require the driver from a floppy diskette, Vista will load from USB or any other type of drive

Remove the HDD and put it on an external HDD and format it on a different PC.
Now fix the HDD back and install XP. Please note that after XP installation you need to down load (XP) drivers from HP website and install them.

All the best!

Hi gordonal123, installing drivers through safe mode is not recommended. If you want windows to function correctly than do a fresh install of windows. Over writing the Gateway hdd will cause you more grief. Windows registry will go nuts.
Link to download the Asus K8V drivers.

Here is what you need to do. Boot to your windows CD while using the Gateway system & hdd. Create a new partition within the free space of the Gateway hdd. (Follow windows onscreen instructions to create a new partition within the free space of hdd). (This will maintain the current windows function).
Restart windows when finished. Windows will create a second partition on the Gateway drive. Go to the Asus link above & download all the drivers for the K8V MB, onto the second partition of the Gateway hdd. Once downloaded & uncompressed into their own folders you can than boot to the windows CD & format the primary partition & install windows fresh onto the formatted partition. When finished you can install the K8V driver still located on the secondary partition. Copy & past these driver folders to your primary partition. Than use windows disk management software to erase / delete the secondary partition. (diskmgmt.msc).
When finished you'll have all the drivers for the K8V MB, no need to buy a PCI LAN card & more importantly a fully functioning windows with-out issues.

Good luck gordonal123!
Take your time.

If you can figure out how to remove the hdd, you can just use the restore discs to reinstall the OS using the windows key on the machine (usually a sticker on the side). You wouldn't need to rebuy a key.

Good luck getting that hdd out!  :)
