Adding USB 2.0 externat HD / Problems
I have added a USB 2.0 card to my daughters computer running ME. The install
went fine and it will recognize a compact flash reader I have . I really want to add a external HD so I can back up her system. I bought a case and put a 20 gig used drive I had in it. The drive is formatted Fat 32 and when I plug in the external case ME picks it up ( as I see the icon in the tray and can dismount it but nowhere can I access the HD. I have tried jumper set to slave and cable select. Anyone have any suggestions here? Thanks in advance Jim Clark |

Although you say that the external HD is already formatted, you *might* find
the following link useful in using FDISK to confirm that it is so. http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc....=&p_faqid=1051 Mart "Jim Clark" wrote in message ...
