Don't forget it will not work with '98 or '95. On later OS's all you have to do is put GP drive on the GP32- then run it without the cable plugged into the GP. Once GP drive is running, plug the cable into the GP- your GP should now show up as a removable drive. Once you have copied all your data, remember to hit select to end the session.
really weird, see if you here the normal two-tone dong from windows when you plug it in, or whether you either got a 3 note dong, or even a "device not recognised" balloon.
