Adding Devices in NT 4.0

[jeanswear]

I am trying to copy data from an NT4 machine to a win 2k machine, and i cant get the pc to recognize the Buslink USB cable. How can I force the NT4 pc to ask me for the drivers. or even where can I update the driver for the cable. there is no "add hardware device" option in control panel
it is win nt 4 with sp5. i am logging in as administrator.
thanks for any assistance

NT does not support USB - you'll need another method to transfer data (eg, serial cable, ethernet network connection, mount NT drive as slave in 2k machine).

that was actually my next step
its funny about not supporting USB, the win2k machine wont support the USB kb and mouse that was shipped with it. so i have to use legacy ports with a screaming pc
oh well. thanks for the info

On 2k machine - have you checked USB drivers? - in device manager (on one machine the 2k install installed wrong drivers for USB - had to install right ones to get USB working).
