USB Harddrive installation problems
Hello!
I got problems installing an external USB-drive (in-system USB-to-IDE converter box). The "Driver CD" provides me with a cheong program that says "install ok!" at some point without anything happening. I heard recently that a driver installation is actually not necessary with external USB storage devices, so I tried to connect the box to a naïve computer – no success. I also tried to get better drivers in the net, found one but it didn't completely work: I managed to get these TPP V2 / TPP V3 things into the hardware tab and a hard disc symbol in the system tray, but no drive letter in the explorer or the "safely remove tab". Before installing the USB box I formatted the drive using FAT32 as recommended on the website of the manufacturer. There is no further help provided. Has anyone overcome the same problem with a USB drive or stick? Then please let me know the trick! I believe the problem should be solvable, because I already use another USB harddrive for a year or so without problems (yes, I also tried to install the new drive on a naive computer that has never seen any USB drive at all!). Best regards! Tilman |
