Update; Finally fixed this after hours of playing around. I tried the External Classic SL 160Gb in a Vista Home machine and it worked first time. This gave me some useful info re the driver being used which turned out to be Samsung so maybe they provide the hardware for Freecom in this case. Baycare Employee Manual. Eltima Serial Port Monitor Registration Key. I did a system restore on the Vista Ultimate PC to the earliest possible date since I could not be certain other updates etc were having an effect. I created a new folder under C: and named it C: usb drivers as detailed elsewhere within the driver forum and copied all INF contents into C: usb drivers. After boot up I turned the external drive on and to my amazement it was now identified as a Samsung compared to previous Classic SL description.

Yes, thanks for that will look later. Another part of the conundrum for my PC, was the motherboard and BIOS (American Megatrends). I have another 500Gb Iomega drive USB drive that was also refusing to be recognised. On boot up I went into the BIOS and found a specific section re USB connections with various options.
I switched this to HDD and Viola!! After re boot the Iomega was recognised and accessible. My only problem now is to stop the many messages that I get asking to look for drivers etc which is a continual pain despite uninstalling the various descriptions in Control Panel / Device Drivers.
So i've got this laptop, a v3500, for a while i thought the problem was something shorting in the motherboard as when the laptop was jolted (not violently) it would beep then cut out and i'd have to turn it back on again. The screen died & I chucked the 160gb 2.5' sata hard drive in an enclosure to use and found it was actually the hard drive that is beeping and cutting out as the same prob occurred in the enclosure. This wasnt too big a deal as i could sit the hard drive somewhere and use it fine in the enclosure. The hard drive tests for errors fine, and doesn't exhibit any other problems. Has been scanned for bad sectors etc & has none. Have now got a new screen for my laptop & am wondering whether it can be fixed somehow so i dont have to fork out for another hard drive for it as well.
