I use various devices through my usb drive (external HD, digital camera, cell
phone) and they all show an icon on the bottom right task bar when I connect
them and then usually pop open a window asking what I want to do with the
drive. I recently bought a usb SATA HDD docking station so I can easily
connect internal drives to my computer. The first time I used the drive, it
recognized the new external device trying to connect and eventually revealed
the new hard drive with its letter in My Computer. It is pretty slow trying
to open files off the drive and exploring the drive has frozen explorer a few
times. Now when I connect it, I get the soundbyte that shows something has
been connected and the hardware icon shows on the toolbar, however, no Hard
Drive appears in My Computer. I deleted all usb drivers/controllers off of
the hardware panel and reinstalled them, nothing. My normal external drive
shows up fine, even though this docking station isn't feeding through.
Whenever I plug it to my notebook and power it up, it only slows down my
computer as it probably doesn't know what to do with the new hardware being
added. No drivers came with the docking base and it is recommended as a
plug'n'play for my Windows XP Pro. Since the obvious fix of reinstalling USB
drivers didn't help, is there anything else I can do? Thanks again for the
help!
