Default Cavairy external hard drive help!!!!!!


Hay, can anyone help me i just bought a cavairy 1 tb external hard
drive. The instructions that came with it said that it should
automatically download the needed drivers. And that is pretty much what
i thought it would do, seeing as how thats what my other externals
did, and what this one tried to do, and failed i tried to contacting
cavairy tech support but all thay would say is that it would do it on
its own, that would be nice but unforchunetly it won't *what can i

How is it connected to the PC, via a hub or?
What does 'it tried to do.......(drivers?)' mean?

Its connected straight to my usb port on my computer. When its connected
it either does nothing, or that little pop up comes up and it says
identifying device, device unknown, then it says something like would
you like to browse you hard drive for needed software or download
needed software from the internet, thats when i tell it to download it,
then it says scanning internet for needed software, at this point
this is when my other devices start working but this one just says
no software found. According to the companie the hard drive is plug and
play and no drivers are needed but i don't know its not working and i'm
at a loss, got any ideas ?????

Try it on another port, disconnect other usb devices, and / or try on
another PC

If you tried it on another PC with the same result, it, or the cable is
faulty.
