Firewire disk - why XP can't mount the volume?
I just bought a Firewire case for my small (4GB) 2.5" disk. This disk is
perfectly visible via 3,5"-2,5" adapter on the IDE bus. But, after installing it in a FW box, XP "see" the hardware - there is a "ding!" from a speaker, the device is available for safe removal, there are two new devices in "Device manager": "SBP-2....IEEE 1394" and under "Disk drives" - same - "SBP-2....IEEE-1394". But in "Disk management"... nothing - no dynamic drives, no recognized drives, no "unknown" drives - nothing. No change. I don't know how to force XP to "see" that this device connected to the computer is actually a storage drive that suppose to be inserted into "Disk management". I thought that the FW case might be broken, so I change it in the store into completely other model - from different manufacturer - same problem, only device names changed. Please help... |

Have you RTFM? Did you get driver CD with it? You may need to install device driver for the drive to be recognised. Mike. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Not according to Win 2K/XP manuals.
