I’ve been using my WD1600 just fine on my older WINXP system.   I just upgraded to Win7 and the OS does not recognize the drive.  I see many forum entries (at other sites) saying I need to upgrade my firmware but I cannot figure out the best fit for me.

Help.

Model: WD1600B014
S/N: [Deleted]

First did you check in Disk Management to see if the drive is there and has a drive letter assigned?

Yes I did - and it is not recognized.

When I connect the USB cable, an error messge box pops up saying the drive is not recognized - upgrade firmware.
