    Vista is not automatically detecting E-Sata drive

    My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R. I am using Windows Vista Ultimate edition. I want some help to setup a e-Sata drive as default in Vista. Like if you connect a usb it is detected when Vista loads up. You can directly go in My Computer and copy data in the pen drive. For e-Sata the scene is bit different. On boot I need to open Device Manager and then click on Scan New Hardware. Then it detects the drivers and I can access it. This happen each and everytime when I boot Vista. It is not by default accepting it like usb drives. Does there a way to make this thing constant.

    Are you installing that in limited account. You must do this once in the admin account. It looks the driver is not stable in Vista. That is the reason it keeps on detecting it. There can be some kind of software restriction policies in your system. Just connect it in the admin account and let Vista configure proper drivers for it. Once it is done you do not require to do anything. Also go in bios and check that e-Sata is enabled. I think that might do the job.
