1275698 2012-05-16 08:27:00 Yup but is it IDE or SATA?? What do you mean it doesnt work sometimes?? You cant boot into windows?? Or if you're in windows it disappears? Might be a loose connection or something Speedy Gonzales (78)
1275699 2012-05-16 08:29:00 dunno what it is...... but it works only sometimes but not all the time:( johnnygeek (16650)
1275700 2012-05-16 08:30:00 In your position I would take it (and the computer) to an expert to check the driver and/or firmware

It's an external drive?

Size has nothing to do with how it is connected. I'd says sata, never seen a 1TB IDE, maybe, but unlikely.
I'd be trying a different cable if it works in other PCs. And checking the cable is pushed down fully and not slightly up at one end - both ends, drive end and motherboard end. Seen that before.

1275703 2012-05-16 22:09:00 I know Johnnygeek, it's a external drive, maybe you should change the USB cable or power supply. It would be a SATA HDD. ChazTheGeek (16619)
