USB xtnl drive does not show.

Hi

With Xp Pro and and IDE mobo box I have attached a sata 500 GB drive to
a few USB ports and whilst the 3 prong tray shows, it goes away and does
not load the drive.

What could cause this please.

rock

Found it!

The 'new' data cable was no good. Tried an old one I had and bimbo!!

Just shopws.. always, always always, check the cable before trying other
time consuming things..
