I have a Dell E1505 laptop, which has a 2.5" SATA drive for the system
drive, and
runs Windows Vista. I have a USB external drive adaptor which supports
both SATA
and IDE drives. I have a 3.5" IDE drive which I'd like to use as an
external drive for
the laptop, but when I hook it to the USB adapter and to the laptop,
it recognizes the
"USB Mass Storage Device", but doesn't seem to recognize the drive
itself.
Should my E1505 be able to support an IDE drive in this fashion, and
if so what
do I need to do to get the IDE drive working?
