Does the hard drive use any type of 3rd party disk utilities on it, such as GoBack or any type of drive overlay software?
Everyone can stop with the jumper setting crap and talking about drivers.
I do the exact same thing- IT manager for a company in Boston. In fact, I've used that exact hardware a few times, and as I said before, it did NOT work correctly until the drivers were installed properly.
It does not have GoBack, it is a driver for the ide-usb bridge. It will NOT work otherwise.
I'm not following you. You say it does not have GoBack, but how do you know if his hard drive has GoBack?
If the device is requiring drivers for it to operate correctly, why is Windows not asking him for them? First thing the device will do when plugged in is show "New Hardware Found", then it will attempt to install the drivers for the device if Windows has them already. If not, it will prompt for device drivers.
I sell devices like this all day everyday, and not a single computer that I plugged them into with Windows XP has ever asked me for a driver. They are true Plug and Play with XP.
