    usb 3.0-external enclosure-old 80gbdrive only quickly be seen-win7

    orico 6619 us3-bk has old maxtor 80gb loaded. on winxp-driver installed-data can be seen with no problem.
    on win7-pc there is a big problem-only with that data-drive(samsung 80gb-winxp-drive with no problems).
    drive-letter is quickly popping up but disappears.
    system is SSD-hdd. i didnt touch ssd yet. no cleaning ccleaner no defraggler. tfc done.
    is there a maintainence-problem? pc is new.

    win 7
    Go into Computer management, disk management
    And assign a different letter to it.
    Windows 7 may have a letter conflict do to USB sticks being used.

    So changing drive could also changing letter. yes stick was used. when changing sticks will they use the same letter? i remember a thread with a procedure to save these settings/memoryzation. but it was pre win7-winxp or earlier.

    i could also try my own orico 6518 flat docking station.

    Yes, I have run into that drive letter problem. To darn many USB sticks and USB hdds and windows at times gets things all balled up. And that is how I fix it.

    that drive is not working on win7 that way. changing letter did not help. changed also from one vertical orico to flat one. drive without system is not recognized.
    winxp ok. we will see when i have myself win7 on my machine.
