Installing the Kazan USB 2.0 Drive Enclosure in Windows 98SE:

Western Digital drives:

At times Windows' Device Manager or the Properties

dialog box of the drive's System Tray icon will give a "This device cannot start (Code
10)" error message or a "This device is either not present, not working properly, or does
not have all the drivers installed (Code 28)" error message when attempting to access a
drive in a Kazan. First ensure that the power, data, and IDE cables are all correctly and
snugly attached. Check the power supply's LED indicator is green to verify it is
operating. If the problem persists, ensure that the hard drive has been formatted as
described above.

The limit on drive size for the IDE drive enclosure is set by the

limit of addressability in the industry-standard ATA specification for hard drives
generally. In the case of the ATA interface implemented in the drive enclosure, 28 bits
are given to the sector number interface between the operating system, the BIOS, and
the hard disk. A hard disk can therefore have at most 2^28 or 268,435,456 sectors of
512 bytes. The ATA interface, and the drive enclosure as a result, has a maximum
capacity of approximately 137.4 GB.

To use the Kazan

USB 2.0 Drive Enclosure with a Windows 98SE system, run the tppinst.exe file which
can be downloaded from www.lavalink.com. Once this file is run, you will be able to
connect and install the Kazan USB 2.0 Drive Enclosure using the Lava driver disk when
prompted by Windows. This will enable the Kazan to operate as a USB 1.1 external
device.

Some new Western Digital drives do not work in the Kazan

enclosure. Western Digital drives manufactured after November 15, 2001 should NOT
have this problem.
