external harddrive problem
I have a 300GB Maxtor PATA133 HDD plugged into a Bytec external enclosure.
When its plusgged into my usb 2.0 port on my comp. windows reads the HDD as 2048GB...now i know i don't have a 2TB harddrive....The odd thing is that when plugged into a IDE cable internally it works just fine. Is there any config. I need to do to make windows recognize the right hdd size? Any help would be greatly appericated. thanks alot. note: I'm running sp2 with all the updates.

This is a Windows Vista forum, not Windows XP.

For some reason, the firmware in the enclosure is not properly
recognising the HD you have installed. There is an update available for that model's firmware. It might be relevant for your particular unit. It might be relevant to the problem you are experienciong. http://www.byteccusa.com/driver.htm Tom MSMVP Windows Shell/User "thebeeman" wrote in message ... :I have a 300GB Maxtor PATA133 HDD plugged into a Bytec external enclosure. : When its plusgged into my usb 2.0 port on my comp. windows reads the HDD as : 2048GB...now i know i don't have a 2TB harddrive....The odd thing is that : when plugged into a IDE cable internally it works just fine.
