I have a USB 2.0 IDE/SATA cable/interface, (HW-338?), which gets detected by my Win XP (SP3) system, but is declared as an unknown device. Therefore, an IDE or SATA drive plugged into it are not seen. (The drives do run up ok, via the separate power supply).
No driver cd was supplied with the device, and the vendor insists that I don't need a driver for Windows XP.

(The black plastic device has 2.5" and 3.5" drive interface connectors back-to-back, a SATA connector near one end of the body, and a sparkly silver USB cable coming out of the other end.

Can anyone advise me, or point me in the direction of a solution? ...Please?

try it on another computer, and it has a power cord you are plugging in too right?
