Check in services. Make sure the Plug and Play and Remote Procedure
Call (RPC) services are not disabled.

Logical Disk Manager service depends on Plug and Play service and Remote
Procedure Call (RPC).

Make sure that both are set to Automatic and started.

Open Services...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK |
Scroll down to and double click Plug and Play |
Set startup type to Automatic | Click Apply |
Click the Start button | When Plug and Play starts click OK

Repeat for Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Logical Disk Manager.

Scroll down to and double click Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service
|
Set startup type to Automatic | Click Apply |
Click the Start button | When it starts click OK |
Close Services

That fixed it! Thanks! I haven't used it in a long time, so I don't
know how it got set to "disable", but that was the problem.

I'm not sure if you are still there... but I've got a simialr problem when connecting an old Primary HDrive from a computer that no longer works, using a USB 2.0 to IDE cable. I get the following message... "connecting to logical drive" but it does not assign it a letter in My computer. Though on he botton right hand corner it says that a Mass storage device is connected it does not appear as a new drive.

Using VISTA ultimate.

I've tried it on another computer which uses XP pro... same issue. Can you help?
