| 681437 | 2008-06-27 02:07:00 | Guess you can't... but you can still open the enclosure and check the hard drive is plugged in correctly inside If that doesn't fix it then take it to a friend or someone with a desktop I guess |

| 681438 | 2008-06-27 02:34:00 | OK. What specific thing will I look for. Which could be possibly screwing the harddrive up? | Firzen001 (11302) | ||
| 681439 | 2008-06-27 04:36:00 | You can get Seatools to test your Seagate HDD: www.seagate.com/support/seatools/ |

| 681440 | 2008-06-30 01:02:00 | Tried That. It doesn't recognize the Harddrive, it recognizes my main one but not the external. It even says there are 2 devices connected. What up with that? |

| 681441 | 2008-06-30 01:43:00 | Maybe it can detect it's there but can't access it properly. if it was eSata that makes sense but USB I don't know. There's nothing more you can really do with this drive and your laptop At some point you're going to have to find a desktop and plug the drive directly in - or this is just going to go around in circles. Or you could get one of these www.trademe.co.nz and use that, or get another external case. But obviously just testing the drive directly in a desktop PC is going to be the cheapest option |

| 681443 | 2008-06-30 03:54:00 | If you haven't already, try removing the hard drive from the exernal case and then reconnecting it. Might be a loose connection somewhere | Agent_24 (57) | ||
