USB 2.0 HDD enclosure driver error.
Hello everyone..
For the last day I've been tirelessly trying to get this hdd enclosure to work properly. I have triple checked to make sure everything was connected correctly, but each time I let windows re-install the USB Mass Storage driver the following occurs:
"Found new Hardware
USB Mass Storage Device"
Minutes later:
"A problem occurred during hardware installation. Your new hardware might not work properly." I tried to use it anyways to see if it would work... It doesn't.
The specific model of the enclosure is CompUSA 3.5'' USB 2.0 HD Enclosure (SKU 312100). I'm running Windows XP with Service Pack 1.
The CompUSA drivers site (fmi.compusa.com) does have a driver for it, but it is intended for Windows 98 only, as XP is supposed to do it automatically.
I don't know what to do.
Thanks in advance for the help.
having the same problem??
I am have the exact same problem too.... can anyone help???
Same Enclosure (CompUSA USB 2.0) but Different Problem
Hi,
I bought the CompUSA enclosure (SKU 312100) too. I put an 80GB Western Digital drive in it.
Alhough it appeared to install ok and I was able to format the hard drive and copy data to it, it seems to disconnect after several minutes of no use.
I have to turn it off, wait a while, and then turn it back on again to get it to work.
The box says it will support HD to 400 GB.
I'm trying to use it with Win98 SE running on an MSI 6167 mobo.
Anybody else have the same problem and figure out how to resolve it?
Thanks
