Driver Windows Xp Wd Elements

Post by Julie1990 »

I have been searching for the driver for my WD Elements external hard drive that is compatible with Windows XP. I have looked on the manufacturer's website, as well as on various driver download websites, but I haven't been able to find a reliable driver link. Could anyone provide me with a direct link to download the driver? Thanks in advance!
