Bios - I don't think it's supposed to be there - you are supposed to start your PC normally and then connect it to a running PC. It is supposed to be "sensed" automatically (P & P). Bios - checked it just now, zip. sarel |

| 540226 | 2007-04-14 20:02:00 | Hmm if it is turned on, the BIOS and the post screen (I would say) should show it (show the name of the device on the screen). To tell u (that the system has detected it). Like on this PC, if I leave the digital cam (which is only USB 1.1) connected or the Ipod, it scans the USB ports on bootup, tells/shows me they've been detected and tells me what they are (digital camera, and Ipod), on the screen. Your system isnt picking this unit up at all is it?? Since its not in disk management, you cant select it, so u cant give it a letter? |

| 540228 | 2007-04-15 00:21:00 | Guys I have to apologise very deeply. Tried to run it on the wife's lappie - no success. Tried an older (one that I thought was broken) drive - Yes!!!!. Looked at the drive that I tried to run - saw one of the pins at the back bent. Fixed it - and voila, it runs. Installs itself automatically, no need for any driver installation. The end result - now I've got TWO older drives as backups (1 x 80GB, 1 x 60GB) - jeez, and I only wanted to recover some of the wife's files from the HD (which we did and SHE IS VERY HAPPY (for the first time this year) because she got back some serious arty farty files. Mission accomplished but this dumb*ss should have checked basic things like this. (I told you guys I am a total stupid noob when it comes to hardware - and I've just proven it again) Thanks for all the help guys sarel |

Congrats . . it's usually the last place you look that turns out to be where the problem is! Next time, just go to the last place, first . ;) |
