Try the jumper as slave.
Doc,
Yes, it is recognized in BIOS. That is, when I can get into BIOS. Recently, I can't even do that with the drive connected.
raf051888,
I have tried the setting on Slave, Master, and Cable Select. Nothing changed the outcome.

Sometimes when I have connected an IDE HD via the USB adapter. I have to go to Computer Management >> Disk Management & then initalize the HD first, then I can format from within Disk Management. Then it seems to work ok !

Hi Doc,
At this point, I'm riding first class on the train! As I mentioned previously, I can't even get into Windows with the drive connected. The few times I did make it that far, it kept telling me the "Device was not ready". I haven't been able to get into Windows for awhile now. Thanks for not giving up.

Mike,

Doc,
Thanks. I'll send you some snow as payment! If you don't get back to this today, have a great Christmas.

Hope this helps.
Mike I re-read your post, it seems that Windows 7 does post and boot but the IDE drive is showing as Un-Allocated. Doc has suggested that you use the following:
My Computer\Management\Disk Management\
Are you familiar with this procedure?
If not I can walk you through it.
