USB Mass Storage

[Guest Mumby33]

I have just built myself a new computer and installed XP Pro 64. I am running

2 Samsung HD501LJ HDD's in a Raid0 (Striping) configuration. These are brand

new drives and set as a bootable raid. They show on My Computer as a single

disk (C Drive). In order to transfer files from my old computer I purchased

an Akasa Integral USB Interface and installed a Maxtor 6 L200PO hard drive

from the old computer containing all my files to transfer. Although when

plugged in to a USB port the hardrive shows in the Device Manager and in the

System Information it does not show as a usable drive in My Computer and

therefore I cannot transfer the files from it. I would be grateful for any

ideas.

 

Many thanks

Go into disk manager and assign a drive letter to the disk.
