Net MD MiniDisc Windows 7 64-bit Tutorial

A quick and easy solution to fixing the issues with Net MD devices not being compatible with Windows 7 64-bit. I did not create this fix and unfortunately I don't know who is responsible for it, so I can't take credit nor give credit to who did it. I just felt like creating a tutorial to help people who are having trouble installing it.

Also, the .inf (Setup Information file) included in the driver below has been updated with the latest of devices, so every Net MD device should be properly working with this new driver, if you come into problems please don't hesitate to shoot me a message.

Also a quick note, to get to the devices list, just go to My Computer - Control Panel - View By: Large Icons (in the upper right hand corner if not already selected) - Devices and Printers - and your Net MD device should be listed down at the bottom when plugged into your computer.

Thanks for checking out my tutorial!

Running windows 7,64 bit. Downloaded your driver but not sure where to put the folder. When I plug my mzrh910 md in, I can use it in Hi MD mode only. When I choose net MD mode it is no longer recognized. Any advice?

@JoshuaAGoldman Hey Josh, you can actually put the folder anywhere. Now are you experiencing this problem after following the steps of installing the new driver?

i have windows 7 starter on a netbook, is there a driver that will work?

[proudofmylife]

@milwaukeesANDY Hey milwaukees, unfortunately I'm not entirely sure. I've never heard of Windows 7 starter and don't have much experience with netbooks. Have you tried installing this driver on it? Thanks

My big question is how did you get sonicstage to run in Windows 7?

[JoshuaAGoldman]

Windows installs it's own 32 bit driver and can't update to your driver

[JoshuaAGoldman]

I tried to follow your steps but when I chose hardware and properties for the MD, update driver was greed out.

[JoshuaAGoldman]

Windows just recognized the device.

I downloaded your driver folder, but didn't actually have to install anything. Windows jus
