Hmm, doesn't appear to be working.
I took the line that went from the switcher to the digital box and switched it to the ant out on the VCR.
Should I have put it elsewhere?
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Have you checked the manufacturer's website to see if they have any FAQs or troubleshooting tips for this particular drive?
Well, I had a similar issue with another USB device, a small 4-port hub. Again, it would plug in, but I wouldn't get an H: drive.

All is well that ends in pizza.
P-C, give us the drive brand and model. We can research.

Well, a USB hub isn't going to register as a drive. Or are you saying other storage devices didn't show up as drives when plugged in via the hub?

My flash drive and digital camera have no problems.

I guess what I'm trying to get at, was the hub a multifunction device (it had some sort of onboard storage or whatever)? Because a hub on its own isn't considered a drive and wouldn't show up as such.
ETA: The only device for that model number I can find is an internal drive. Are you using an internal drive with an external USB case?

Okay. I think maybe I tried plugging things into the hub, and they weren't even being recognized, but maybe that was a different problem.

That's possible? I'm borrowing it. And that's the driver that gets installed when I turn it on.

Yes. There are honest to goodness external drives, as well as external drive enclosures that let you install an internal drive inside and even converter cables that let you plug an internal drive into a USB port.
Odd question, you do have the drive plugged in to a power outlet, yes?

Oh, I know that you can do that. I just didn't know whether that's what I had, as it's not my drive. And I have the sinking feeling that I'm going to have to go to Plan B, which is to take out my hard drive and externalize it so I can transfer the data to my new computer.
Odd question, you do have the drive plugged in to a power outlet, yes?
Yes. Like I said, the computer likes it when I connect the USB cable and then turn on the drive. If I turn on the drive and then connect the cable, the driver doesn't install properly.
