I bought a cheap USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge a while back and have had a good
bit of luck connecting various IDE drives to my laptop for imaging
purposes. However, I have a few drives that simply won't mount under
Windows or OS X, despite being detected by the Device Manager in the case
of Windows. It seems to be narrowed down to the smaller drives, like under
2 GB or so. For instance, I have a Maxtor 7213AT 210 MB drive that won't
mount, although an 80 GB Seagate has no trouble at all. The Maxtor is a
known-good, bootable MS-DOS 6.22 drive. Has anyone encountered this?
Besides connecting it to a motherboard with built-in IDE, are there
workarounds?
Thanks,
Kyle
