| 800235 | 2009-08-12 00:09:00 | As the others have said - try connecting the Drive to a working PC directly to the SATA ports on the board. I have one of those Welland 3.5" SATA To USB2.0/eSATA External Hard Drive Enclosures - and When ever I have tried to install a drive it stuffs up, wont allow the drive to work or simply freezes the PC (Its a heap of crap) If I connect the same HDD directly to a PC it works fine or use another enclosure that also works fine. |

| 800236 | 2009-08-12 04:27:00 | As stated before, I do have a separate power supply for the HDD. I'll try use the HDD on another computer but I have a feeling it won't work because of the click sound. Apparently it is called "The Click Of Death" where the internal HDD has died. | vims213 (15007) | ||
| 800237 | 2009-08-13 23:58:00 | I realised that I had to go to Disk Management and create a new partition on the external HDD. I tried out eSata and my transfer speed only goes up to 50mb/s. I thought transfer speed goes up to 300mb/s. |
