MyBook Live And Windows 8

Hello Astrix,

The Generic Software driver (2006) is just a Microsoft driver date and should not efect the MBL drive in any way. There are lots of drivers in windows stamped 2006. As for your firmware 1.1.2.1 2011, the newest firmware can be found at this post or you can update through the SmartWare Dashboard. Unless your having another problem.
