Thanks everyone

I refuse to spend 23$ on a cable (dynex at best buy) and I really appreciate the help

I also have a question about this hard drive so I'll just be tacking on my question.
I was reading on the bestbuy reviews that this hard drive does NOT work with windows 7 can anyone confirm this for sure?
I can find little information on the drive itself other than on best buy and I can't find it minus one refren reference document on the Western Digital Website

I need to know because though I don't currently have windows 7, I am getting ready to get a new windows 7 laptop so if this drive doesn't work with windows 7 then I'll need to return it for one that does.

Why wouldn't it work with Windows 7

Usually, those things work with any OS.
If it worked on Vista, it worked on 7.

That I don't know, Its just what the review said on the Best Buy site (the only retailer I have found that sells this model) Also the manual that I found for it only lists up to vista as supported OS's

Also, like I said I don't currently have windows 7 nor do know anyone who has it to test it with. Even if I did it is meant to be a Christmas present so I am not supposed to open it for another month.

Well, first of all, Best Buy in itself is stupid.
I wouldn't trust the reviewers on that site either


And Windows 7 just came out... Maybe they haven't updated their documentation yet.
But my external hard drive that I've got from WD works just fine with Win7.
