Not sure... I did try it on a laptop I have at home with no luck, but the laptop may not even meet the requirements to recognize it without drivers, it's pretty old. Might be able to bring it in to work tomorrow to check it, thanks for the suggestion.

Can't even find it to delete it... I did try a million combinations of unplugging, rebooting, plugging back in, etc. No luck.

My first question was already asked, will it connect to another pc?
Have you tried plugging into a different USB port on your system? Sometimes a USB port can die. You could also try another USB cable if you haven't already.
Does the drive actually power up and spin? You should be able to feel it vibrate and/or hear it humming. Presumably there is a power led on the unit somewhere.
And does the system still show the drive as connected, and you can't access it? Or the drive designation is not even showing up when you look at your drive list. (assuming Windows machine again.) |
Yeah, running Windows XP. I've tried the other USB ports with no luck, haven't tried a cable though... Will give that a shot tonight.
The drive does power up just fine, has its own power supply and I can hear it clicking. But no, the system shows no sign of it whatsoever. It used to be listed as my E:\ drive, but now it's just missing.
