Thanks for the help. 1. I have USB devices that work as they should. 2. I did NOT install another hard drive. 3. I installed "USB hard drive enclosure" with new formatted, and partioned (Fat 32) hard drive. 4. Unlike other USB devices, the "USB hard drive enclosure" is NOT seen in My computer, or Explorer, ONLY in device manager. (Compaq Armada e500, Windows 98se) 5. In device manager both hardware, and driver is listed as working properly. 6. On another machine with Windows Xp, the "USB hard drive enclosure" is seen everywhere, and works perfectly. Thanks...

Thanks for the response. Yes, and all other USB devices works properly. Guess what ? I connected the enclosure to another machine with XP, and XP recognized it everywhere, and the enclosure worked perfectly. Thanks again

2.5" USB 2.0 Hard Drive Enclosure (Adaptec) was installed with new hard drive. The hard drive was partioned, and formatted. The unit and it's drivers is recognized in device manager, and listed as working properly. However it's not recognized in My Computer, or Windows explorer. Windows 98se Any asssistance will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion Pro.. Someone else suggested the same solution, However I believe it may be related to software. What I forgot to mention is, It will not resume from standby

THE PROBLEM: The system: Compaq Armada e500 laptop. With battery installed, system will not boot. Remove the battery, and everything is great. Manual check of the battery shows, fully charged %100. Computer check shows the same. Remove A/C system works until battery is discharged, around 25 minutes. Prior to problems, system failed to exit hibernation. The battery was removed, re-installed and everything was great. Changed the power settings, shutdown system normally, would not boot with battery installed afterwards. Any assistance will be highly appreciated Thanks

Thanks for the effort. Will let you know how the suggestions worked

Hi Fire... I tried everything as instructed. After downloading and installing the file, the screen seetings changed. I corrected that by going to control panel and making the adjustments. The good news is I am now able to delete the undeletables, however they return immediately whenever I reboot. This happens in safe and normal modes. Thanks for the help. What's our next step ?
