Let's do some trouble-shootiing before you drive 200 miles again.

If you have 4 identical computers (desktops?), try

1) Cables unsecured ? ----Ensure all the internal cables are secure (pull them out and reconnect them), then try to install the driver on the problematic computer
.....a) cable end to the drive
.....b) cable end to the Motherboard

2) Cables bad ? Try replacing cables by borrowing from a "good" computer then try to install the driver on the problematic computer

3) Perhaps the "adapter" is bad? ...try "borrowing" one of the "good" adapters and try to install the driver on the problematic computer

4) Perhaps the drive is bad? ...try "borrowing" a drive from another computer and try to install the driver on the problematic computer


These are a few easy things to try before driving 200 miles ...

If you find the problem, then you can call Microcenter and maybe they will ship you a new part (if you can identify what is bad).
