Default Unable To Root Dell Streak... Please Help!

I just received my new dell streak this morning. I've been many hours attempting to root it but I'm having driver problems...

The Streak syncs fine in Windows, I'm able to send & receive files, etc...

However, when I put my Streak in Bootloader mode and connect it with the usb, I keep getting the ''driver could not be found'' message...

It displays Android 1.0 in Device Manager with a yellow ! saying ''unknown driver''

I searched for hours for a windows 7 driver for the streak but no luck...

Anyway I can get the driver working?

If you still cant find the drivers you need to :

Go to device manager

Right click Android 1.0

Select Update Driver Software

Select Browse my computer.....

Select Let me pick

Select All Hardware

Scroll down to Google INC

Select Bootloader

Hope that works for you

Seems you was right, I checked the dell installation folder and it had drivers in it which I had to install manually, run the setup.

I will try this and report back

Ok, the bad news it STILL didn't work.

The good news I got it working myself, BUT I had to do it manually!

Browse computer for drivers, have disk, etc...

My streak is now Rooted!

Thanks for your help & putting me on the right track
