Thread: Installing Ultra ATA drive in USB enclosure - I've RTM

I forgot to mention, when I look in device manager, it sees the USB
drive but gives an error: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

Matt,

Go into Device Manager and check USB devices. Of course you can`t be sure
the enclosure works ?. Set the drive up as Master. I`ve got a 200gig in
mine, but I`m using winXP..Computer Management\Disk Management
best wishes. (my name is also Br**kes)

I had a similar problem with a USB external drive, got the Code 10 error. I
ran Scan for Hardware Changes from Device Manager and it came up with a new
MTP Device (Windows Portable Device), I installed that and it solved the
problem.
