USB Mass Storage Drive - Code 10 - BIOS - MOTHERBOARD -
Somebody wrote "Welcome to the world of WinDrivers" - really, though - I'm here. And it sucks.

When I plug in the USB Mass Storage Drive into my USB port it finds the hardware and installs drivers for it but will not detect it in MY Computer. Also when I go to Device Manager and check the properties it shows that there is a Code 10 Error. I can't mess with the resources and was wondering if there was a patch out there for this. If anyone knows the answer to this I'd appreciate your help.
If anyone knows the answer to this PLEASSE PLEASE HELP. Is it really necessary to update my motherboard? How dangerous is it to screw around with the BIOS? I had it, at one point, appearing under disk drives as "USB Disk" in the Device Manager, but never did it appear next to the hard drive - i.e. I could not use it.
It's never been initialized or used so I wouldn't mind formatting it if that would help - but I don't know how to do this: "If it is an extenal drive and has never been initialized, you will need to do that in the Disk Management MMC, and then set it up with a drive letter." Never have had the chance.
Here's my scenario:
WINXP
PROFESSIONAL
VERSION 2002
Service Pack 1
Intel PENTIUM III - Motherboard: SE440BX-2
USB 2.0 - newly installed and working fine
500 MHz
128 MB of RAM
I'm also using USB Netgear/USB Midiman/USB Mobile Pre/USB Intellimouse. All of these work just fine.

USB Mass Storage Drive - Code 10
I am currently experiencing the same problem as noddy44, but with a different type of device. I have a generic (non-branded) USB caddy with a 60GB Toshiba HD (notebook form factor). Here are my observations:
1. The USB HD works with newer PC's, e.g. Dell Optiplex GX-240 (P4, 2.4G) desktop, Dell Latitude D505 (Centrino, 1.4G) notebook, Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo-D (P4, 2.4G) notebook, but not with older PC's, e.g. Compaq Evo (P4, 1.7G) desktop (my computer), Compaq Deskpro (P3, 677M).
I am fortunate enough to have access to a variety of computers in the company I work for. Unfortunately, this HD does not work on my computer.
2. Most of the PC's tested had Win 2000, SP2 or SP4, except Amilo-D, which had Win XP Pro. For the newer PC's, installation is straight-forward, without any need for drivers or anything. But for the older PC's, the error appears.
Although I am still doing my research, I do not think this is OS-dependent. I did find a Win 2000 patch in Microsoft (through Windows Update) that relates to an SP4 bug that might have an effect on this issue, but I installed the patch, and still the same problem.
I also don't think tinkering with the motherboard or BIOS settings or anything as radical as formatting the PC is required.
Sorry, I don't have any answers. Just sharing my thoughts.

All this time, I have been browsing through the Internet for solutions to this Code 10 error, to no avail.
I tried your suggestion and upgraded my BIOS from the Compaq website, but it did not solve the problem either.
Finally, I have learned to live with this nuisance by simply connecting the device to another computer and transfering files through the network. Does the job anyway.
Once again, thanks!
I'm not sure if you already have a solution to this but try the following.
I had the same Code 10 error when I installed my USB enclosure with a 200 gig
hard drive with windows 2000. The solution that fixed my problem was setting my hard to MASTER instead of the Cable Select pin settings. Their was nothing in the instructions telling you to do this. I happened to find the solution on the web somewhere.
