Just bought a adapter kit on eBay to connect my 2.5" PATA Dell D-610 laptop to a 3.5" IDE Western Digital 160GB hard drive mounted externally via USB. The WD shows in Device Manager, but no designation of it being present shows in My Computer as with my flash drive, WD 1TB external HD, etc.... Contacted vendor, and they send me to UpDown for driver, which in kit description said "was not necessary" if using XP O/S, which I am using. Anyway, I go along with their suggestion to download the driver. Problem is the driver is for Win98 only. Vendor is from another country. Here lies the problem! Language barrier as usual. They love to do business in the US, but they've got alot more to learn! Anyone have a solution to get this to work?
