Transcend 250 GB Hard Drive not recognized by Windows XP SP2

Hi, I purchased a StoreJet removeable harddrive which, according to the manual, shouldn't need a separate driver for Windows XP. However, when I plug it into my computer, my computer detects new hardware but the harddrive never shows up in My Computer. Instead asks to install the hard drive, which cannot be done. Any suggestions? This is Transcend 250 GB Hard drive.

Thank you!

Hi,

You may just using just a data usb cable on your hard disk. Try to get usb cord with data and power cable (combo) and check if this resolves your concern.
