Where do I find drivers for the My book Studio  Edition II for windows 2008 SBS edition.   No drivers (for any OS) are listed in the download section of the website.  Device manger shows no driver installed, and it is running at a very slow speed.  Any help would be much appreciated.

As you can see, Server 2008, Server 2003, 2000 Server, ME, 98SE, 98 and 95 not supported.

You may have to change the USB/SATA/IEEE 1394 interface with a compatible one. If you do, you’ll have full speed access to disk drives but it will no longer be My Book Studio II.

Other option is to use Windows 7 or similar but you’ll lose server functionality.
