I have this adapter, as far as I remember I used it with an XP machine and it worked fine. But now on my vista laptop doesnt work. If I plug the adapter without any disk attached Vista (Business) says it doesnt recognize the USB device. If I plug the adapter WITH the disk attached Vista starts to install some kind of drive, when finished it says that the device controller installed properly and I can use it but the disk doesnt appear in disk management nor in windows explorer. The only way I can access the disk is by using a USB hub between the adapter and the usb input in the laptop. My USB hub is USB 1.0 and I have not tested with a USB 2.0 hub, but could this fact be related with the controller issue??
