Yeah, I tried to put the jumper on both the master and slave setting, but neither work...

Okay, remove the driver first.

Go to device manager and find an Adaptec driver. USB seems to be a good place to start. When you find it, just remove it. Then reboot your computer. Windows should detect the hardware automatically and install an appropiate driver.

If that doesn't work, I say there's about a 90% chance it's a cable problem.

Hmmm...I looked in the device manager and in the USBs, there's no Adaptec there...and I couldn't find it anywhere else, so I tried to just plug it in again...again no luck.

	Put an end to popups!

Do you have any kind of antivirus scanners running ? If so, then try to disable it. I have had some problems installing VC drivers and it was my virus scanner that was the headache.

try uninstalling whatever you installed from the CD and then installing it after windows automatically picks it up.


also, check to see if you need to reformat the disk maybe

Mao,

Try the who contraption on a friend's computer, without the driver from the CD, to see if that's the problem.

Make sure he or she has Windows XP first.

Blackcat, the only thing I have is AVG Virus Scan, which I turned off before I tried installing anything.

Siro, the first time I tried to use the enclosure, I just plugged in the USB (this is all after formatting the hard drive on a friend's computer), and it didn't work, so then I put in the CD. It gives me a copy error message then a message saying that it installed successfully...I also can't find the driver now anywhere so I'm not sure what's going on.

UR, I did try the contraption on a friend's computer at first. He first formatted the hard drive on his desktop, so the hard drive seems fine because it formatted alright. When we tried the enclosure, however, his computer wouldn't recognize it either (both with and without the CD).

I suggest that you somehow send it in to Adaptec to get a new one. It seems the Kit or something with the kit (e.g. the cable that connects the HDD to the kit) is broken.

I don't know how you'd do that, but I guess you should ask at the store first.

I figured I'd go and exchange it from Best Buy or something...but it seems weird that the enclosure doesn't work since it is new and all...

Yes, I think you just got unlucky this time, Mao.

I have recently got a Lite-On DVD burner but it quickly deterioated to the point that I can hardly play DVDs now. So this kind of things do happen, just only rarely.

I've heard of this problem before. IIRC, its similar to problems people have had with too many drives (and partitions) i.e. you have to map the drive properly.

Hmmm..I'm not sure I have the same problem. My computer just doesn't recognize that the thing in the USB is a hard drive at all. The drive is already formatted from my friend's computer, and there's really no partitions on it. I'm not sure what else I'm missing...

haha...figured out the problem...I'm a moron. I put the HDD on cable select instead of slave and it works! whoo!

CS means cable select, of course. It's actually the safe bet for anything that's not hooked up in a traditional daisy-chain-E/IDE manner.

Good to know you got it working
