Hi there

I got a problem that I can't solve. I've just bought an external harddisk
casing for my old 2½ inch harddrive(i've upgrated my notebook). I installed
it as Sandberg said in their manual, but Windows XP (Home Edition) doesn't
seem to recognize it. It finds the USB storage device, but is says "Cannot
start the USB unit"...Idon't know what to do?

Anybody who can help?

Did you go to Programs>Admin Options>Disk Management and see if it shows?
Once you see it there, you can format it and partition it as desired.
