Gentlemen,
I have encountered the same problem with Vista looking for a USB to IDE driver. However; 
when I tried your solution, I get the following message:
Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.

Windows found driver sftware for your device but encountered an error while attempting 
to install it.

USB mass storage device

The system cannot find the specified file.

If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check 
the support section for driver software.

I was able to do this for one of my external drives, but there are no specific drivers 
for the other external drive or for the flash drives that I am also having the problem 
with. Some of my flash drives picked up with no problems whatsoever, while the others 
keep coming up with the same error above when I tell it to search in the system32 
folder. I do have the check subfolders box checked. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

George
