P-C, give us the drive brand and model. We can research.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?

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.
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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Try assigning the current logical H: drive to a higher drive letter in the disk management console, and then plug in the new drive. I know XP will often not reassign a drive letter, even if there's nothing plugged in, and it may be the same for 2000.

I think that I need to add a line - out. I also think that the co-ax that came with the vcr is missing so I need to replace it (that's the missing link I believe.) I almost have it. But I think I tried to skip a step. (I mean the cable with the red, white, yellow connectors is not the way I connect the vcr to the box, right?)

But there is no current H: drive. It's not in the list. Not in the Disk Management list. Or do you mean plug in my flash drive so that I get it and then assign it to G: instead of my Zip drive and THEN plug in the hard drive?
