I took a Buslink USB Hard Drive L series and removed the 13 GB Seagate hard drive and installed a 40 Gb Seagate Hard Drive in it.
I installed the Buslink drivers for XP because it's not a standard USB Mass Media Device. The drivers worked fine on a 2003 Server and an XP Pro system. When I tried to use it on my XP Laptop which is running XP Home it is unable to find the drivers.
I thought the problem might be related to the USB power output from my USB ports so I put a powered hub between the laptop and drive. My laptop sees the device but can't find the drivers.
In device manager it's listed as a USB-ATAPI4 Bridge Controller
