hi,
i have recently perchased a 160gb 3.5" internal HDD, i have also perchase a caddy for this HDD and built the external HDD, however when i connect it to my computer, via USB, the computer detects the HDD, i.e. the add remove hardware icon appears, and i can also find the external HDD in windows explorer, however when i attempt to veiw the properties of the drive in windows explorer they are all blank, and the drive also, more importantly, doesnt appear in my computer, i dont know why this is happening, i have tried rebooting the machein with the HDD attached, inspite of the fact the caddy is hot-swapable, the caddy also came with no drives as it is plug and play, i have attempted all that i can to get the external HDD to appear in my computer,
any suggestions anyone might have as to why i cant see or use the external HDD in my computer would be greatfuly recieved,
thanks ,
