When I plug in a jump drive or extranel hard drive the "found new hardware" display does not come up.
I'm running Windows XP home SP3.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
Dale

Any normal external drive would not require drivers to operate, and you should see the disk in the disk management screen (Start -> right click My Computer -> click Manage -> click Disk Management). If it doesn't have a drive letter already, you can assign one here, or at least check windows sees the disk.
