I do not have Windows 8 or 8.1 yet. It is possible one version might work differently than the other.

I downloaded it on windows XP and Windows 7 was able to go 100%. It didnot show that it would work on windows 8.

Sorry... I'm using it on a older computer and it's working right... It shows no reason why it would not work on Windows 8. But I have not witnessed the facts of that so I am not eligible to say yes.

I have gotten it to work with windows 8. Just plug it in, and it should install automatically.

Sounds like the drivers are missing or corrupt. I used it on a Windows 8 64bit and it works flawlessly.

I have not tested on system 8, I know of no reason it should not work. The driver might have to be updated

The drive may not be formatted or formatted with the right file system, you can check that in disk management or the drive could be bad but most likely needs correct format. I just tested mine with my Windows 8 laptop and it works fine.

If you have Windows 7, it should automatically download it. If not, try running Windows Update in the Start Menu. You're still gonna need a cord to power the drive you're plugging this into.
