I have one of these eSata caddys. It works fine on an XP Pro (32 bit) box. Until today it also worked fine on a Win7 64 box. Sometimes I had to rescan the bus but it always showed up without error. Now it doesn't and I get various messages about driver installation (which never finish) or indications that the drive needs formatting (which it doesn't). I have tried it with two known good identical Samsung 2TB drives and also with a USB connection - which works fine. I didn't think there were any specific drivers required and have never installed any since building this os and searching for them leaves me somewhat confused (none on manufacturer's website but various things elsewhere.) I haven't tried a system restore which would seem to be sledge hammer to crack a nut. However I don't want to have to buy another caddy (although MB has USB 3 - which is faster eSata or USB 3 btw?)
Can anyone please enlighten me?
Roy
