Hello

Still having problems with Plug 'n Play

I have a Seagate Internal HD from an old computer which I want to use as a
back up and so I've put it into a portable external drive box with a USB
connection to my computer.

Thing is the computer knows that sth has been connected but says it can't
find the driver.-(in systems, it recognizes it as a mass storage
peripheral with USB connection)

Been onto the Seagate site but they don't have generic drivers and say
that Windows drivers should work.

I've recopied usbstor.sys which handles mass stockage peripherals with USB
connections just in case the file was damaged but it made no difference.

Also tried manual installation by telling Windows where the driver file is
(on C:Drive in normal place) but same result

Any ideas please?

Use TweakUI and assign that drive a letter near the end of the alphabet.
This is only a partial fix. Windows can't keep it's drive letters straight
and things being as they are, it thinks your external drive is C or anything
except for what it is.
