I'm hooking up an IDE drive. I'm using one of those external USB kits ( Sebernet USB-DSC5 )- it's a usb to IDE cable and a power supply for the drive. It works great in XP, shows right up in 'my computer' and I got some files off it. It's formatted NTFS and worked in this same PC as an internal drive. Vista (my vista 32 Desktop) loads up some drivers and tells me it's ready to use a 'usb mass storage device' but it does not show up in 'my computer'. It shows up in device manager under disk drives, usb drive and is 'working correctly and it shows up in 'computer management' where it tells me the drive has not been 'initialized' but it can't initialize it.
How i will be able to see and use to transfer data using either 'my computer' OR 'window explorer'.
Thanks in advance. |

The external IDE drives were recognized after powering down my computer and restarting it. Selecting 'Restart' from Start menu did not work. |
