I have tried changing out the cables, searching for the drive and all of my other drive work fine on my system. When I plug the drive in it makes an audible sound as if it is registering but nothing in My Computer. I didn't recieve any software for the unit but I guess that if there is some out there I would need to know where to find it.
If your hard drive making a unusual noise there something happened to the internal parts of the drive. does your hard drive accidentally dropped?
ok. check your jumper settings. set your jumper to slave. try it might work.
Hey there koskinen. It appears that your problem is one of several possibilities. I would first suggest that you ensure your hard drive is formatted correctly. This will need to be done to allow your computer to read it properly. You can do this to a secondary drive using the "computer management" selection found from your "My Computer" page. Follow prompts. If the external is not recognized, try installing it internally on your ribbon as a slave drive. Second, the main issue is to ensure your connection inside the external is properly seated, as is the power connection. Next ensure all external connections to the box are properly seated. Lastly, ensure your connection to the computer is a valid working port. Please plug another device into the port you are using to ensure it works.

My external hard drive is doing the same thing. I dont know if the solutions that were given worked or not. I dont understand computer talk so I don't know what any of that means.
