winxp, external 2.5" harddrive enclosure(bytepro),
windows detects it when i plug it in but "there was a
problem with the installation, your new hardware may not
work properly". suspect (strongly) that i need to
partition/format this drive. how do i if i cant see it in
win.?
 
I am having the same problem with the same gear, external
2.5" hard drive running on WIN XP pro. The drive shows
shows up in all configurations but is NOT assigned a drive
letter!?!? Therefore it does not show up in Explorer, and
can't drag and drop anything into/out of it. If you get
any information on this please let me know what/why.
Thanx.
 
Right click on My Computer and select Manage. On the following screen,
click on Disk Management..... when it shows up on the right hand side of the
screen, assign it a drive letter.
