    off topic but... external 5-1/4 in. drive enclosure- brand?

    Anyone had success with a particular brand/model of external 5-1/4 in. drive enclosure for USB 2.0 and a DVD-RW drive? The one I bought did not get recognized by XP and reading forums it sounds like this and others have problems like this. Mine did nothing when I plugged in the USB - no additional root USB hub, no new drive. It was $37 so there you go. Back to Fry's to get restocked with a return sticker. Good to get refund without hassle.

    I have a Belkin model F5u209 rev 1 working with no problems with a DVD-RW HP drive.

    Let me know if you need any additional info

      I have used Vantec in the past and it was okay. Buddy of mine bought a no-name and it was bad. Most of the burning CD would fail in the middle of somewhere, took him a while to figure out it was the external enclosure.
