Just plugged it in to USB and power, and my carputer detected it no problem, needed no drivers

Purchased a USB 2.0 To IDE Hard Disk/CDROM/DVDROM Adapter off Ebay to put in my new car (2000 Civiv SI). Have everything else up and running except my DVD/CDRW. Running Win XP Pro on a MSI K3t Ultra ARU board. Have the adapter plugged into a toshiba laptop DVD/CD drive. Windows recognizes the drive, but lists it under USB Devices as an "Unknown Device". Seller claimed no drivers are needed under XP. Anybody find a driver, or get one of these to work? I've tried tweaking the bios with the "allow usb legacy devices" and have tried having windows search for new hardware, all to the same result. Unit is powered separately, and will open and close drive. Have tried this on 3 different computers, and with 3 different drives. Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks,
Batman

There is also a power supply for the adapter itself, it uses 5V.

Apparently the unit I have is defective. If they are just supposed to plug and play, mine doesn't do that.

Yea it sounds like you may have a defective unit. 3 different computers 3 different drives only thing in common is the adapter.
