| 1205005 | 2011-06-04 08:32:00 | What's your motherboard make and model? I have seen this sort of thing before on a hard drive that was pulled from a game machine. Hmmm, this might be rather difficult. Its an HP Pavilion a6260a, but I would need the take out a lot of wiring to even get near the motherboard. Will have a better look tomorrow when its daylight. |

| 1205006 | 2011-06-04 12:24:00 | Is this the PC you have? h10025.www1.hp.com If so then it looks like it takes IDE drives and the ones you have in the enclosures are SATA maybe? |

| 1205007 | 2011-06-04 17:28:00 | Tried in Device manager to update driver when USB Drive is connected to see if that is the problem? Probably remove from Enclosure if no joy connected to USB and mount internally using a IDE to SATA / SATA to IDE Converter on the Hard drive or before spending any money ,put into a desktop with a IDE interface on the drive |

| 1205008 | 2011-06-04 22:24:00 | Remember that for 2.5" drives, the pins are finer pitch than those on other drives so you also need an adapter to solve that issue too. You can get them fairly cheaply, but none as cheap as eBay, although that would add a 2-3 week wait. |

| 1205009 | 2011-06-05 02:17:00 | Sorry to be a pain, but have you tried a 2 into 1 USB power/data lead as I suggested earlier. Using a single USB port, my external 2.5" hard drive has all sorts of problems, similar to what you are having. Plug the second port in and it works fine. This Trademe auction shows the lead in the top left of the photo " www.trademe.co.nz Cheap and worth a try. |

| 1205013 | 2011-06-07 00:57:00 | I had similar problem but cured it by downloading EASEUS Partion recovery 5.0.1. I ran this on the external drive and it cured whatever was the problem. I am using WIN 7. A subsequent scan by AVG showed a virus and several bad files. I think this had something to do with the Master Boot record on the disk. Hope this helps. | peterdb (10059) | ||
