   You should have mentioned all that before. You seem to have a history   
   of witholding information.   
      
   Did you not already start at least one thread about this same issue?   
   Why start another?   
      
   Unless the drive or enclosure manufacturer has something special   
   available, there is nothing else available other than Window's built-in   
   generic drivers.   
      
   If you are having trouble, your problem is not the driver itself.
