I got this cable that has IDE connector for 3.5in drive on one side, and USB on the other. Also has a separate power cord adapter for the drive. When I connect everything up, drive spins up and it looks like Win XP recognizes it. Device Manager shows the drive under 'Disk Drives', but drive does not show up under 'My Computer'. If I double click on the drive in Device Manager, under Properties, Volumes tab, then hit 'Populate' button, it gets all the info. If I highlight the drive on the Volumes tab here and hit 'Properties', it shows the pie chart with amount of space 'used' and 'free' on the drive. If I uncheck 'use Indexing Service' and hit 'OK', it shows it going thru all the files on the drive. So I know it can access it - but HOW CAN I GET IT TO SHOW UP IN 'My Computer' ?

Thanks
