I am having trouble installing Adaptec USB 2.0 2.5″ removable hard drive. Driver install fails even though requested files are confirmed on hd, ‘Install new hardware’ will not/install confirm drivers. No OS troubles elsewhere.
This is also not a case of restoring a missing drive letter via Administrative Tools as no drive letter is assigned to hd – Computer Management/Storage/Disk management. It is visible in Device Manager but listed as ‘not working properly.
Computer is IBM laptop T22 with 7 port USB hub attached. OS is W2K, SP4. Hub has its own power supply, as does Adaptec hd. Both ends of double ended cable attached to hub. Several other devices attached to this hub work fine. Attaching hd direct to laptop does not help.
Suggestions would be most appreciated.
Thanks! BB
