I bought a usb 2.0 to sata / ide so I could connect my old external hard drive from my old Windows XP computer to my windows 7 laptop. The USB 2.0 only wotls with Win 98, XP, ME and 2000. USB 2.0 to IDE or SATA adapter cable. Web site looking for a driver for Windows 7 but when you go to their download section there is no driver to download. This downloard installs the USB 2.0. Not sure if this is the right driver. The terms of the software license agreement included with any software you download. Hi NauticakNut It is very rare for any standard USB storage (disk/memory) device to need an extra driver which is not part of XP or Vista or 7 This applies to USB to IDE/SATA bridge devices (you sometimes get a driver disk covering Windows 98 / ME & 2000) Have you tried different ports on the Laptop or different PC's? Regards Mike Barnes -------------------------------------------------- Windows 7 came with the driver allready installed. I tried all my ports to no avail. Now, when I plugged my USB 2.0 to sata / ide device into my external hard drive which I removed from my old computer and then plugged the other end of the USB 2.0 to sata / ide device into my USB port, I tried waiting a few minutes to give the computer time to recognize it, when the computer didn't recognize it, I unplugged the cable from the USB 2.0 to sata / ide device, not the USB, waited a minute or two and plugged it back in, waited another minute and wahLa! The computer added another drive letter to my computer and there it was. All my old files. I thank Tim from WorldStart for the infomation. And I thank you mbarnes86 and nhasian for your help and your replies. The device probably requires no drivers. You MUST plug in it's USB connection into a USB port that can actually supply the full max 500ma of current, and it may NOT be detected properly if you plug it into a port in a USB hub! Troubleshooting USB device problems including for flash drives, external drives, memory cards. See Response 1: Check that out first. Rarely, not all the ports on the back of a desktop case may be able to supply 500ma each. If you have a desktop computer, Note that I answered a Topic on this site where a guy had an external drive, which does require the full 500ma, connected to a port on the back of a desktop case - it would not work properly when a webcam was in the port next to it, but it worked fine when the webcam was unplugged. Ports on the back of a desktop case often have two ports connected to the same USB controller module that are ports one above the other - you could try connecting the cable to one of those and leaving the other un-used. If that doesn't help, some mboard's bioses cannot detect the type of device you're using properly. Phase Phase is used to describe the two main types of alternating current (AC) electric power produced by a utility, generator or UPS system. Single-phase power includes a single AC waveform, making single-phase equipment ideal for lower power density applications with per-rack power consumption levels up to approximately 2.8kVA (120V), 5kVA (208V) or 7.4kVA (230V). Three-phase power includes 3 AC waveforms, making 3-phase equipment better suited for intermediate and high-capacity applications with per-rack power consumption levels that surpass the practical energy limits of single-phase equipment. PDU Type Basic PDUs All PDUs including Basic PDUs provide reliable rack-mount power distribution for data centers, server rooms, and network wiring closets. Metered PDUs Metered PDUs monitor load levels to avoid potential overloads via a LCD display.
