I bought a cable that would connect my IDE hard drive to my USB 2.0 port. In the bottom right hand corner of the screen, it shows that it's connected, but it's not in "My Computer". The installation guide just said to set the jumpers to Master, and plug it in. No drivers were needed since I have XP. I've also tried setting the jumpers to slave and it's still doesn't work. I've restarted with it plugged in, but that just messes things up because my computer doesn't know which drive to boot from, so i have to go to the BIOS and tell it to boot from C, because when the jumpers are set to Master, I have two Master Hard drives. I've also restarted with it plugged in as a Slave. I bought this on eBay, so I'm expecting a very slow response time, so I wanted to see if any one here knew.
