Windows XP asking for a driver for external hard drive

Hello. I have bought a USB external hard drive that shouldn't need a driver
with Windows XP. The CD it came with only has a driver for Windows 98 on it.
The hard drive is a Freecom Classic Hard Drive for USB 1.1 and 2.0. The
device is recognised, but then I am asked for a driver, which shouldn't
happen. On the Freecom site, they only have drivers for Windows 98. What can
I do?

Hi,

When prompted, indicate C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\I386, see if this helps.
