Samsung MP0603H Drivers?

[jvr84]

I have a hard drive used for my pvr and i connect it by usb and when i do connect it, windows doesn't detect it as a hard drive! It just comes up as an unknown device named "24"

Any suggestions?

The Samsung MP0603H should be plug'n'play, meaning that they are recognized as a USB Media by XP...

mostlikely that drive is causing the problem and should be formated before you install it in the external case...

other avenue to check, see if your CHIP SET drivers are up to date and the USB ports are turned on in the BIOS...

The usb ports are turned on. I cant format it if windows doesn't recognize it?!

ChipSet Drivers can be downloaded from the mobo manufacturers website for the motherboard you have in your PC...

you may have to take out your HDD from it's case check the jumpering (Master/Slave) and insert it into your PC, then FORMAT it there, disconnect it again and reinstall it in the USB-case (check Jumpering again and set it to MASTER)...

hope this helps...

PS: once installed in the PC, and the BIOS does not recognize it, make sure that it is correctly jumpered, ie. original HDD is set to MASTER and the one you want to format is set as SLAVE on the same IDE Cable, or as SLAVE on the secondary if there is a CD/DVD attached, or as MASTER on the secondary if there is no other drive there...
