Hi,
I have a 80GB hard drive in a USB enclosure, and i am trying to get it to work with Vista 64 bit.
But every time i try to connect it to my computer, i keep getting a screen asking for a driver for the USB to IDE adapter.
I have had a look around the forums here, and i have tried the Inf trick that i found, but still the drive and enclosure will not work.
So i am wondering now about the following?
Does Vista 64 bit work with USB 1.1?
Because when i connect the enclosure to my son's computer (XP Home), i can get the drive to work and i can see the files.
Will i have to update the enclosure to USB 2.0, for it to work with Vista 64 bit, or will a USB 2.0 cable work instead?
Is there a problem with the hard drive (set to Master) and i believe a Fat32 system?
