Works fine with Win7x64

Good product. It worked fine right out of the box. Plugged into USB, auto installed, popped in a disk and double clicked the Floppy icon on My Computer in Windows Explorer. However, I did find that some of my old floppy disks have kicked the bucket. No longer able to read some of the floppys that were stored in a box.

Works great out of the box for Win 7 32 and 64 bit

I had great results from this floppy. It's in a tough plastic case so it goes in my laptop backpack. It opened floppies and read them for both my Windows 7 Pro 32 bit laptop, and my 64 bit Home Premium desktop machines. Drivers were not an issue. Some of my older floppies would not work, but that was the fault of the floppies, not the drive.

Great but has a Glitch

I bought one of these and just could not get it to work with Windows 7. I went to Sabrent's website and through their tech support, they sent me a new drive (for free) that worked perfect. Some stores still have some that had the wrong firmware loaded into the drive.

Worked first time right out of the box!

I took the drive out of the box and plugged into my PC, Windows 7 immediately recognised it and I was back to work in no time at all.

Doesn't work with win7 64x

I've tried this on two machines as described above - can't make it work on either. It will install fine, but I cannot read a floppy with it. Pretty disappointed - this was to be used to feed files to an industrial machine that is old but also very expensive.

Won't Read

My computer is a PC running Windows 7. I recognizes the drive but it takes a while for it to respond when hooked up and won't read disks. Useless for me. I have a load of floppies that belonged to my now deceased father I was hoping to look at. NOT HAPPY!

Great Product

This product worked great to identify that there was something on the disc. I was not able to view the info. on the disc, but this is not the fault of the external drive. I just don't remember what program was used to create the disc in the first place. Great idea though, and hopefully, I will get it to work on some of the discs--I have a lot to go through yet.

Doesn't work with win 7

I have tried 2 of these and neither one of them will let me read the files with windows 7; I can see the drive but won't read the disc. I connected to a computer with XP and it sees the files and allows access.

Very Pleased with this Product

I plugged it into the USB port and it worked as it should. I found some forgotten photos on an old disk making the unit well worth the price.
