    I have an HP Pavillion s3121n. It came with 32-bit Vista. I have just installed 64-bit Win 7 to take advantage of the Athlon dual 64 CPU.
    I have attached an HP Pocket Drive and a Sony DRX-840u. Vista found both. Win 7 can't. Both use USB cables. Win 7 says it will find them automatically. I need them but can not go back to Vista. I have searched HP for updated BIOS and drivers but found none.

    Hi

    Have you fully installed all drivers for your PC for Windows 7? check Device Manager for any yellow ! marks, if you have any what are they?

    The likely thing is that HP do not support Windows 7 on that PC model with drivers so you may have to find them (if available) manually and not always easy, but the main one that is generally missing is the Chipset and in your case its a NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE one and thats HERE for Windows 7, so install this and reboot, then try your USB drives.


    And your model is a s3120n over a s3121n ??
