Info:
Hard Drive: Maxtor Diamondmax 10 200GB PATA133 HDD
In an "Advance 3.5" Mobile Hard Disk"
How do I get the computer to display this piece of shit? I.e show it in my computer?
I have:
-Tried different usb ports
-Checked connections inside case
-Tried every jumper setting (usual is no jumper - slave)
-Hard Drive powers up and doesn't make any funny sounds
-First time I powered up, it said it has found new hardware, blah blah, couple of more baloons and then said it is ready for use.
However...it's not showing up in My computer. There are No conflicts in device manager and I have restarted the computer several times. Pc is on xp pro and is fully updated.
Ideas anyone? Paid £77 for this and if it doesn't work, I'll stamp on the case.
Cheers
Greg
