I'd rather you use the prior discussion, but in a nutshell.
1. USB 2.0
2. Motherboard drivers must be current.
3. Windows 2000 SP4 please.
4. Use TWEAKUI for WIndows 2000 and make sure no drive letters are hidden.
5. If you are running Symantec's NAV, there is an issue with it scanning removable media. I have no cure but to disable that scan.

I had a Maxtor 5000LE external hd connected to my laptop running Windows 2000. I need to move the HD to my desktop running XP Home SP2. I hooked it up direct to a USB port and it is listed in device manager/disk drives, but under my computer, it is not listed.
I have worked on this for two days and can't find the solution. I really need to access it and am lost on what to do.
Thanks.
