I purhased another drive like this off of Amazon and it said it was Vista compatiable. It opened a couple of my old files and then I started to have problems with it.
This one I plugged in. Waiting for the software to install and then put in a disc that had not worked on the other one. I was thrilled when I was able to open the file and read the information. Some of the files were from my word processor from the late nineties. While others were from my Tiny laptop which now as a frozen hard drive (windows XP). Some of the information I had not seen in years and it made me wonder did I really do that.
A small piece of equipment which does what it says it does. I would recommend this to anyone.
Easy to use and install and it does what it says it does. You can't say fairer than that.

I am well pleased with this Floppy Drive. It connected no problem using Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 Home Premium. I had no trouble copying pictures from Kodak produced floppy discs and reccommend this drive.
