Driver installation for USB 3.0 card

[Andy]

I installed this. It works fine in Linux, but Windows will not install the driver that came with this USB 3.0 card.

Can someone help me ?

Since you won't tell us anything about what happens when you try, my
best advice can only be:

Compliment its appearance, maybe bring it some flowers or other small
gift.

OK, so "works fine" in Linux, tells me the card is seated.

While in Linux, you can use "lspci" or "lshw" and the like, to
get VEN/DEV or VID/PID information. That can be used over in
Windows, if there is any uncertainty about the driver.

"will not install"

Symptoms ?

CD with driver will not Autorun ? Try running the Setup.exe.

Check the single page installation sheet, to see if you
install the driver *before* installing the hardware.
Or you are to install the driver *after" installing
the hardware.

Have you looked in Device Manager (Start : Run : devmgmt.msc) ?

If you had an "Unknown Device", try Properties, look
for the Hardware ID. Examples of lists of devices, here.
This is for confirming that you know what the new hardware
is, that you've added or installed. This doesn't always
work well though - my new system has a lot of "Base System"
entries, and I can never figure out which driver is
"making those go away" They're just a PITA. There
are a few items like that, which are a load of fun to
eliminate (i.e. they don't do anything good, except
mess up an almost-perfect Device Manager setup).

Thanks Paul.

I had to install every driver that the disk had and my USB 3.0 starting working.

There was poor documentation on the disk along with zip files.

The USB 3.0 is around 10 X faster than 2.0.

Makes a big difference when transferring .iso images.
