I have just bought a USB 2.0 IDE disk enclosure (BlueEye Storage U235) and am trying to get it working with my Dell Inspiron 8500 laptop. I have a western digital 120GB drive in the enclosure. I have tried the drive on both mandrake linux 9.2 and windows xp professional without much joy.
In the mandrake linux world, when I plug the drive into the USB port a �USB TO IDE� entry showed up briefly in usbview but then disappears.
dmesg shows the following messages...
hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.7-1, assigned address 2 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x5e3/0x702) is not claimed by any active driver.

/var/log/messages similarly contains...

In the windows xp world, I get a new hardware found message when I plug it in and then it goes through the installing drivers which fails. I end up with a disabled entry for the drive in the usb section of device manager.
Any ideas would be MUCH appreciated.
If you could CC responses to [EMAIL PROTECTED] that would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance Simon
