Hi,
I have a Sata to USB adapter (thermaltake BlacX duet).
The device is recognized, the drives, either one or two at a time are recognized by DM and LDM but are not assigned a drive letter.
In Logical Disk Manager the drives are listed, they are marked as healthy, active, have the number of partitions expected, are formatted as NTFS or FAT32 as expected.
I cannot assign a drive letter. The only option is
Delete partition... or the very unhelpful Help.
I've tried this same combination in two different win xp machines. Other USB devices work fine. I've connected to back panel ports, front panel ports, powered hubs (on my dell monitor). The results are exactly the same. Safely remove hardware and device manager and Logical disk manager all show all the information and I cannot assign a drive letter.
The system is fully patched WinXP Pro SP2
I've read hundreds of posts about this issue and they all end with assign a drive letter in LDM.
Been there tried that!
Thanks for any new direction to try.
Howie
