i bought an A-power 1.8" usb drive enclosure and put in my 20gb toshiba mk2004gal and plugged the wires in to the pc. i hear the sound as if something got plugged in and the pc says "found new hardware>USB TO IDE> USB Mass Storage Device." Its stays there for a few seconds and then i hear the sounds as if something was unplugged from the pc and it says "A Problem occured during installation. the device may not work properly blah blah blah." So i unplug it goto the "device manager>universal serial bus" and plug it back in. It pops up in the list and i goto properties and it says "no drivers are installed for this device." The cd that came with the drive only has windows 98 drivers because supposedly XP doenst need them. I have download many drivers from many different sites and i have made no progress. I read in another thread that it might be cause o the drive letter but when its plugged in for the few seconds that windows detects it, there is no other drive shown under disk management. If anyone can help feel free to do so. Here are the specs of my pc just incase it helps.


Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2
System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
System Model: Dimension 4700
BIOS: Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A09
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz (2 CPUs)
Memory: 1278MB RAM

When I purchased my new computer it used DDR 2700 RAM. My old computer used what is known as PC133. I was hoping to use my old RAM to upgrade the RAM in my new computer but I was told I couldn’t. Why is RAM different, and what are the differences between the older PC133 RAM and the new DDR Ram?

I have a Dell Dimension 4600, nice system. It has a DVD "player" on the top bay of the tower...(right above the CD rom/burner).

How hard is it REALLY....to take it out...and put in a DVD RECORDER (need to make some home movies).

Is this a big job? My skill level/experience: ZERO.

Advice?

Also: Good brand, burn rates?? I'm lost. I just wanna play "Speilberg" and make some home movies. HELP!


Thank you!
