Answer 1

You dont need drivers. The likely problem is the jumper configuration. You need to set the one you want to use as an external drive to "slave." If it was pulled from a laptop it is likely by default set to "master." The jumpers are the little pins on the back by the power and data ports. Usually there is a little diagram by them that shows how the jumper needs to be placed to set it to slave.
