Subject  :  any issues with USB 2.0 drive?
Size(KB) :  1


I just bought a (1) USB2 drive kit, that lets you put a IDE drive in an
external enclosure, and use it as a USB2 storage device; and (2) a 160GB
Western Digital hard drive. I put (2) inside of (1), and tried using
XXCOPY to /CLONE files from my C: drive to the "USB2 drive". Every
time, it terminated with a "fatal error" reported by XXCOPY.

Does XXCOPY have any known problems with this kind of arrangement?

Of course, the problem could be anywhere - my USB 2.0 card/drivers, my
USB cable, the IDEUSB hardware inside the box. Also there is the
137GB limit to be concerned with. I set the "EnableBigLba" registry
value to enable a single 160GB partition, but then my USB kit said that
USB2 supports only up to 127GB. So I repartitioned, still got the fatal
error from XXCOPY. I was running 2.82.6.

Also - I did get the message from XXCOPY that a DLL had changed, etc.
etc. "A new Operating System environment is detected".

Just downloaded 2.82.7. Will try that.

Any ideas? If I can't get this USB2 drive kit working reliably, I still
have a few days to return it!
