I did check the jumpers at one time. the enclosure manfacturer says to put the drive in the master config , I did it and rebooted . The computer hung until I turn off the external closure switch and the computer booted up. I tried the slave comfig and the comuter booteeed up but same problem. I tried cable select and it did not boot the computer. I did try to put back into master config . and turn the enclosure when computer was booted, It sees the drive in the Device manager and it sees it in the safely remove devices . but no go in the my computer icon . I tired the computer mangement / disk management and it could not see it. I had a /IBM dekstar 40 gb GXP and I tried a maxtor 6.4gb drives , same problem . I tried an cdr drive and it recognized it right away. the IBM disk works in my other system in the slave mode connected to the ata cable. . I noticed that when I look under Device manger when the ext drive is plugged in and recognized . I click the Icl30540-avv07-USB in the Device manger and it says that the drivers are loaded for this device , I looked under the drivers tab and it specifys some type of driver, with a path to it. I updated the drive and it says that it cannot find and better drive at installed one , so I use the current driver and it stills says that the drivers are not installed for this device.

Guys I have the same problem with adding a drive into an external enclosure, same thing , Device manager sees it but cannot see it on my computer and I am running XPsp1 tried disk management and connot even find it. Tried on a new machine at work , nothing , tried another drive , same thing, My IT guy thinks it is a problem with USB to ATA circuit baord inside drive. The device amanger see it but no drivers are loaded , right? , My IT guy suggested getting a one touch maxtor drive? What do you have ?
