HD Appears in device manager - ot disk mgmt - 2
« on: March 15, 2007, 06:46:40 PM »
I have a similar problem to another poster.  I have a Quantum Fireball KX 27.3 MB internal IDE drive from an old computer.  I bought an inexpensive external USB to IDE case and installed the drive.  It shows up in device manager as "disk" but not in the disk management console.  In device manager it says there is no driver installed, but when I choose 'install driver' it tells me there is no more up to date driver available to install.  I am running Windows XP sp2 fully up to date.  An internet search didn't turn up any XP drivers for this drive.  Any ideas out there ???

USB cable from computer to external enclosure.
Separate power direct to external enclosure.
Jumpered as Master.

Could it be possibly a SATA drive ? ?
If so have the drivers been installed ? ?

It's described as a "UATA" drive.
