   There is no such driver.   
   There are USB drivers (and if the drive (electronics) is being recognized (in   
   device manager), the driver is functioning. End of driver story.   
   If the Disk Contents, is not being recognized... The drive is: 1) failed.   
   (drive never becomes 'Ready'.) 2)Unformatted or the format damaged,   
   3)formatted for Linux or some OS XP refuses to acknowledge. 4)formatted with a   
   special driver to get around early OS version cylinder limits   
      
   Is the drive accessible if attached to an IDE channel?
