I installed the drivers. The hd spins up. The computer sees the adapter and (according to the device manager) the hd. I cannot access the hd. It is a WD400LB-55DNA0 drive.
Help!!!
Hi, re: sabrent enclosure:
sort of same issues. documentation is feeble. hd powers up. red light is on.
but the new pc doesn't recognize the drive and, obvously doesn't assign a
drive letter to it.
i tried reversing the cable, changing the hard drive, using different usb port,
re-booting. still doesn't see the drive.
1. jumper settings are correct
2 i use vista, not win 2000 or xp
2 harddrive is old, from old computer
vista doesn't have 'my computer'
i can find manage disk management
can't right click becausse the drive isn't there
how do i change the hdd settings from dynamic to basic if i can't see the drive?

Problem solved: WD Data Lifeguard tools did the trick!
Exact same problem here! Device manager sees USB device, HDD is listed under disk drives but the drive will not show up in My Computer. I have even checked properties on main HDD and see the drive listed under the "hardware" tab as a USB drive. Here, I can select the new HDD and click properties; clicking on the "volumes" tab, I am able to hit "populate" and get info back. This new drive is an Xbox HDD that I am hoping to lock so it will work again in the Xbox. Is it possible it's not showing up because it is not formatted using NTFS???
