How is the T-17sxlg connected? you will need to connect both the video cable and the usb cable.

Thay just want you to purchase new products, they could have easily make new drivers for WIN7. They will give an excuse that the products are too old to support the new OS. It is the Micorsoft and the hardware manufacturers that want you to buy new stuff.
I am still running XP since a lot of my hardware are still working just fine but they are not compatible with WIN 7.

You may have to up the power supply wattage to cover all the extra load you have with all the drives you have

It costs about $1000 US. Here is a comparison of prices for the unit: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Hitachi+StarBoard+FX-77&hl=en&safe=off&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&biw=1328&bih=649&wrapid=tlif12931727151701&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=5016133813771240558&sa=X&ei=6T8UTaOFJYiWnAekzb2NDg&ved=0CF0QgggwBA#scoring=tp

Just connect it -- it is a Plug-and-Play device, and Windows 7 supports Plug-and-Play.

Do you get any error-messages when you connect it?

Does it connect to some other computer?

Does some other USB device connect to the USB port that you're using for the Hitachi?

Take your cell phone and put it on it's camera setting. Then go to your Starboard and take a picture of the lower left of your Starboard (on the corner--facing the floor). That is where you will find the serial number. Look at the picture--there it is-the serial number!

Are you using a USB extension cable? I have found that you can use a 50' USB extension cable but if you connect 2 of the 50' extension cables together you receive this error. You can use Cables-to-go SuperBooster USB over CAT5e+. It will allow you to go over 100 feet and it has been tested and approved by Hitachi. This is the solution we used, or you can go wireless

On the mac, it was an interaction with the 'Inkwell' handwriting recognition software. I turned that off in System Pref's. It may have actually only been the check box 'in any application' rather than completely off.
So Starboard works great now!
thanks

i dont know why i bother looking on here, ive looked for a number of solutions for different problems and there is never any answers on here
