I have a USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA adapter and a 1 TB SATA drive. When I plug in the adapter, both the adapter and the drive show up in Device Manager, and Drive Manager shows the drive, but the system will not automatically assign a letter, and I can't assign a drive letter manually.
The drive and adapter work on Linux, but I no longer have Linux on my computer. I currently have Win 8.1, but I've also tried the drive on a Win7 computer. This set-up has previously worked on WinXP.
Anyone got a troubleshooting path to try?
