How I got it to work in XP Pro:
1) Plugged USB Drive in and saw it saw hardware manager install it but didn't see new Drive Volume in My Computer
2) Opened Control Panel
3) Open System
4) Clicked Device Manager from Hardware Tab
5) Expanded Disk Drives
6) Right clicked USB Flash Memory USB Device and hit Properties
7) Clicked Volume Tab and hit the Populate Button. Voila!
HTH
Holy **** you've just saved my adapter. I was about to chuck it out the window.
I couldn't get it to stop freezing. It would start to populate the list but freeze when you tried to manipulate a file/folder.
I tried everything. You sir, have helped this top-end user out. I'm a nerd and tried every trick in the book and never thought of hitting populate.
The answer, I would consider in appropriate because it does nothing to help the person asking the question or that has the problem. An answer of , "You should just plug it into your usb drive.", does nothing to help or remedy the problem.
You need to have winxp and higher but if you have win98 you will not see it unless you download this program DriverDetective
What do you mean conect it to your hard drive? You should just plug it into your usb drive.
