"We apologize for the inconvenience. We recommend you to transfer the data to a newer drive compatible with Windows 7. The My Book Mirror Edition drive in question was discontinued before the Windows 7 operating system was released and our engineering does not perform retro testing of discontinued products on newer operating systems. Although WD does not formally support this device in Windows 7, the drivers are built into the OS and from the WD standpoint it should work. I would recommend contacting Microsoft, through

www.support.microsoft.com

and download the latest patches and Hot Fixes for Win 7."
