USB Mass Storage problem

[ind_123]

The IDE drive is from a laptop and runs with the USB cable power. I
can hear the drive running when I hook it up. It was working on the
laptop before. I have seen the Disk management but nothing there. The
problem seems to be that the windows fails to install the new
hardware.

It gives me message that recognised "USB-IDE"
then as "USB Mass Storage "
then it pops up saying "Failed to install new hardware"
reason being that device is not recognised. I dont know how to solve
it.

I wanted to back up a significant block of data files to a Maxtor 80gb USB
drive and did the following to get Windows 98SE to see the drive:

I used a USBReady application to confirm the machine hardware and software
were appropriately configured.
Then, I went to the Maxtor (now Seagate) web site to download drivers for
the external USB drive not supported by the 98SE installation. I was
directed to install them and reboot the machine with the external USB drive
attached. All proceeded as promised. Good luck!
