It's nice that it's a small one, but every USB device will work
I didn't have any, but have an USB Harddisk (IDE).
I attached a DVD player to the IDE connection for the harddisk and it worked.
I'm not using this everytime, but only used it for installation of SP1 and Office 2007 Enterprise.
Now my HD is putted back in his case

I have an external 120 gb usb traxtor 1,8" hard disk, but i no see them in bios device...

Both my LG DVD drive and my 250Gb 2.5" WD Passport drive show in the bios and can be booted from.

I have a similar one, that is LG GSA-E50L and it does not work properly...nothing helps, even SP1 could not make it work. The OS sees it and so does BIOS, i can even eject discs but it does not read or record any data !!! The device works excellently in my laptop/xp Media Center so it seems it is the problem of Vista...Who knows what to do?

Are you using external power, or just the usb to power ?
Don't know that drive, i use a plextor, and it needs external power with the shift, or a usb power source pluged in the mini usb plug of the 3 port usb hub/lan device.

Cause the manual says it does not need any additional power plugs I used the equiped USB data cable (USB-mini USB) only. Another option suggested by the manufacturer that i used is USB data cable and DC-JackType USB power cable together that were pluged into 3 port USB hub from HTC...what exact model of the Plextor drive do you have, maybe i would buy one instead my LG...
