How is that device powered? Are you using 1 HD or 2 at a time? Plus, can you test elsewhere the validity of the old HDs are working. If you can, simply erase and reformat that way and then swap over. If the current format Fat32 or NTFS?
It helps to provide full details of the items in question, please do so.

Hey guys, I'm just curious if anyone here might be able to help me out. I've bought one of those cheap external HDD bays from Dealextreme for my old 2.5 drives.
My laptop detects a "mass storage" device, but I can't access the hard drive. I've tried with two different 2.5 IDE drives in various jumper configs.
If I place the jumper in "cable select", my computer makes the "Ding" sound that it's found a USB device. However, like mentioned above it just won't show me the external hard drive.
If I place the jumpers in any other config, my laptop won't recognize it at all.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit trying to access these drives. I believe Windows 2000 is installed on each one using either FAT32 or NTFS.
