I need a software for my notebook neo model B3230.

What type of software are you looking for?

If you mean an Operating System (OS), your notebook specs will run practically any Windows/Mac/Linux Release as these notebooks come preshipped with windows 7.

If you are looking for a free operating system, why not try a linux distro such as ubuntu or MenuetOS for a 10MB OS!

If its not an Operating System you are looking for, Please specify what type of software you need.

Hope this helps!

Unable to download driver

Make sure you are downloading the appropriate driver.
First determined what is the system type your operating system is.
Right click on My Computer then select on Properties.

Once you determined the system type of your operating system it is time to download the appropriate driver.
If your system type is 32bit you must download a driver were the file name has x86.
If you system type is 64bit you must download a driver were the file name has x64.

Operating system

At a terminal, type:
fdisk -l
as root to see what drives and partitions are on your system. Let's say your partition is /dev/sda1. Next you need a mount point. I like to make and use /sd so type:
mkdir /sd
and to mount it, type:
mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /sd
and to view what's on the drive, type:
ls /sd
