Hi guys I just got a new external case for a old dvd burner that I had sitting around but when I got it all together windows gives me this error under the USB mass storage.

This device cannot start. (Code 10) in the device manager.

Could it be that the dvd burner is to old to use in a external case?

It is a Justlink RW5125A and was made in Dec of 2002
 
I don't see how the DVD burner could be too old for the external enclosure, they tend to make these things backward compatible. Google you external enclosure for any software/drivers, this way be just that window was unable to find the proper driver, and as you stated thought it was a "mass storage device".

Also try rebooting with the external enclosure plugged in, to see if it will be recognized during boot.
