Hey there,

So I formatted my hard drive on my laptop with Windows 7, put some files etc on there to transfer to my new PC that is running on Windows 8. When I plug it in to the new PC it doesn't turn up as a hard drive, it shows as a USB controller (I'm plugging it in with USB). I've looked in disk management etc but it's not turning up, when I plug it back into the first PC it's working fine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

it sounds like you need to install a driver and pnp doesnt have one for that drive. Check the web for a win8 driver or force win8 to use the win7 driver.
