- USB - IDE adapter
- Posted by Luap on March 25th, 2005
Bought one of these and having trouble. Tried two disks and neither
works. The 80GB (set as Master) is recognized by Windows (XP) in "device
manager" but I can't get it to show up in Windows Explorer with a drive
letter, which renders it useless. Any suggestions? I believe I am trying
thru' a USB 1.0 port and not USB 2.0 (device is supposed to be
compatible with both).
Thnx

You need to assign a drive letter.
Controlpanel/administrative tools/computer management/storage
disk management right click the drive and assign a drive letter.

I agree that you'll have to assign a drive letter.
In my case, however, I bought an external enclosure and put in a 160GB hard
drive and partitioned it into two 80GB drives. Previously I had drives
letters A: through G: internal to my computer. When I looked for the new
drives in Windows Explorer, I saw that they were recognized automatically as
H: and I:. Don't know why.
