W2000 Does not see my USB drive Saturday, March 4, 2006 at 10:41 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Angus (24 messages posted) Just purchased a "NEWlink" USB to IDE adapter. I have installed a 120GB drive in the unit, the drive is formatted NTFS and works fine attached directly to the PC. However, W2K does not "see" the unit when I plug in the USB cable, and the only install sw included is for W98. The unit has an external power supply, and seems to power up - at least the drive spins & the light comes on. Is there any way to force W2K to access it, or can anyone suggest any diagnostics that I can run? It might just be that the unit is faulty, I suppose. BTW, I have tried this with known good cable and USB port. Thanks!
