Need help installing driver for Syquest EzFlyer 230 on XP

[Hal]

I need help to install a driver for my SyQuest EzFlyer 230 parallel
port removable harddrive.

I have downloaded from SyQuest ephdw2k.inf and ephdw2k.sys
which are driver files for Windows 2000 and Windows XP

I was instructed by the readme file that I should just attach this
external harddrive to the parallel port and start up Windows, then the
system will ask for a driver I should just enter these files.

But XP does not find my EzFlyer on the parallel port and never asks
for the drives.

I would very much appreciate if someone would inform me how to install
this driver and get XP to recognize my SyQuest EzFlyer 230 drive.

both files are required for Windows 200o and XP
what you may need to do is enter the BIOS and set your
parallel port to ECP. THis allows the port to recognize
legacy printers and may do the same for your hard drive.
If, when you connect the drive, XP does not say that it
found new hardware, then you have an issue with it being
recognized and it may not be compatible with XP

Thank you for your reply.

I did what you segusted but EzFlyer 230 driver still not recognized.
The odd thing is that SyQuest makes a driver for XP, so I believe that
this drive must somehow work in XP of they would not have bothered.

Hoping that someone can come up with an other idea.
