PCMCIA LS240 Superdisk Device Driver (PORT)

by MissingPortLS240 Sep 15, 2005 11:26AM PDT

I'm using a HP Vectra VLi8 desktop computer, running Windows 2000 professional as the O/S. The CPU is a Pentium II 400 mhz processor. I've upgraded the onboard memory to 256mb.

I also have a HP Officejet 7410 all-in-one printer attached to the computer. I want to thank you for your review of this printer; I was determined to buy it; but your evaluation of it cemented my decision.

I bought a external LS240 superdisk drive that uses a PCMCIA card interface, and a adapter card. Following the instruction that came with the drive I have connected the drive to my computer.

Now, here's my problem; When I go into "my computer", I see the A: drive, the C: drive, the D: drive and the E: drive for my HP Officejet 7410 all-in-one printer. What I DON'T see; is the LS240 Superdisk drive.

When I go to the device manager, it lists the PCMCIA card. I know the card is working; because when I restart the computer I hear the LS240 drive's motor, and the green disk light comes on.

But the machine doesn't show me the LS240 drive.

CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME FIND IT?

With Some dogged researching; I found out that the LS240 external Superdisk drive is a:

"PORT NOTEWORTHY LS240 SUPERDISK PCMCIA DRIVE".

I'm so close to making this work, I'm in agony.

Please contact me with the missing piece of the connection puzzle.

Thanking you in advance;

W. D. Wormack.

test the card

This sounds like its a new card and if thats the case you would be better off calling the tech support from the company that built it.

However try this before you sit on the phone, >> START >> RIGHT CLICK "My Computer" >> CLICK "Manage" >> CLICK "Disk Management" >> find the drive in the bottom window pane on the right >> RIGHT CLICK THE DRIVE "Chage Drive Letter" >> Try to add a drive letter to it.

If that was confusing I made a quick video showing you how to do that.
