NexStar-Lite is a slim pocket design 2.5' external HDD case. Supports high speed USB 2.0 & 1.1 – Transfer Rates Up to 480Mbps w/ USB 2.0 – Transfer Rates Up to 12Mbps w/ USB 1.1. The lite for the device flashes once red and then I hear a pop from the speakers & at the same. Download the WD synchronization software or driver. I have 2 enclosures. One by vantec nexstar 3 and anotehr by Megadisk.
I purchased a NexStar 3 USB 2.0 External from ebay about a year ago (it was brand new according to the previous owner). It has 3.5 enclosure with usb 2.0 interface. When I plugged it to the power socket, the blue light shinning as per normal. However, my computer (windows XP), my laptop(windows XP), my friend's computer(windows Vista) and my friend's laptop (windowss Vista) is not detecting it at all.
I have checked under disk management under (which is under computer management) and it is not showing either. I have many backup documents in there. I would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks a lot! Hi, My laptop detects the external drive but does not want to install the software cause it says that Cypress AT2LPRC42 driver is missing. On the problem report is says that there is 1 cache file missing or corrupt. Is there a way I can get the driver and download it on my Laptop? Will it work or will I have to format the drive (there is lots of info on there I need, cannot afford to lose it!) please help Hi, My laptop detects the external drive but does not want to install the software cause it says that Cypress AT2LPRC42 driver is missing.

I plugged the esternal drive in on my windows vista, and it was not picked up, i tried restarting computer, and i also tried to check for any storage devices on my computer-yet again nothing was picked up. I wanted to add new hardware but i was not too sure what i was doing. That is when i decided to check the internet i plugged the esternal drive in on my windows vista, and it was not picked up, i tried restarting computer, and i also tried to check for any storage devices on my computer-yet again nothing was picked up.

I'm not a computer expert so I won't use too much tech language but after months of dissapointment, I finally got my NexStar 3 to work and it was actually easy!
At first I thought it was a driver problem so I tried to find a driver on line or in the disc provided (it wasn't neccessary as I run windows XP). Then I actually opened the disc provided and found the PDF manual and opened that for a read (maybe the answer was in there?) Yep!! It has the answer you are looking for. Part of this manual 5.2 describes that 'a partition is required' if the hard drive does not appear under My Computer. To do this you: Right click on your 'My Computer' icon and choose 'Manage', Under 'Storage' on the LEFT pane, select 'Disc Management', Find the drive (mine was around 300GB so I knew it was the one) at the bottom Left and 'Initialize' the disc by clicking on 'not initialized', Then in the bottom RIGHT Pane, where the status bar is, Right click and choose New Partition, Follow the directions from the Wizard. (Recommended partition type is 'Primary' and file type 'NTFS'.
When this is done you should see your drive under My Computer. NOTE: This formatted around 23GB on the newly created 'E' drive I selected. After this, by Right clicking the other unallocated area of the drive I went on to format the rest of the drive as a 'F' drive which contains the other 256GB. Hope this helps!
