DEX,
Thanks, very useful post.  

Didn't understand the bit about "Enhanced Hub Controller" but I did check out the 
links you sent.  While hunting around yesterday before posting I think I noticed 
this one which you sent: >http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win2000/1140906601
...but discarded it as not relevant as it seemed to be related to speed which wasn't 
my problem! The last bit of advice in this post - take out all USB devices, remove 
all drivers and reboot - seems to have been the cure for my problem; though it might 
have also been size related as the first time after reboot I plugged my adapter in 
with a 20GB drive.  Anyway, my 120GB is now in the adapter and recognised fine. 
In case it is useful to anyone else, I was already at SP4 with all applicable updates. 
Thanks again...
Angus
