      Window XP-Pro with all updates to date.   
     I have "holder" for attaching hard drives   
   (in my case, from older machines) which   
   provides hard drive power and USB attachment.   
    When all is plugged in, I hear the hard drive spinning,   
   but it is not recognized by XP - Pro OS.   
     If I reboot with it plugged in, one of the three   
   triggers the "found new hardware" thing   
   but can't "install" it. Apparently, there are no   
   USB drivers for exteernal USB hard drives.   
   MS "support" has been no help.   
     Is ther a way to use these old drives???
