Posted elsewhere with no replies hehe. Anyone know what might be wrong?

QUOTE I bought this usb to ide adapter called `EASY IDE`. This allows me to plug hard drives externally through a USB 2 port to my laptop to transfer files from my old drives.

Problem is, it has installed correctly but the drives only appear in device manager. They won’t show in my computer like they are supposed to. When I look at the volume through device manager no values show and it says the data is unreadable. There are also no new drives showing in computer management to assign a path to. I know that both hard drives were working fine so I cant understand where the problem is.

Any body got any suggestions as to what is happening? As the box quotes “making IDE connections easier” ???


It came with a cd with drivers but they are only for windows proir to ME I think. I even tried these with no luck.
