G'day,
I have a Western Digital Home Basics eSata/Firewire/USB2.0 enclosure, which had come with a 1TB "Green" SATA drive.
I had hoped to put a 250GB Maxtor MaxLine II SATA drive into it - the one that had been inside my Power Mac G5.
But, when a firewire cable is connected, the drive light just flashes on/off at about 1 second intervals, and with a USB cable connected the light stays on full, but both options fail to mount the drive, or even make it visible to the computer - although Disk Utility does take a long time to decide it can't see them... (ie as if it's trying... but fails)
Any ideas how I can get the Maxtor to work in there?
cheers
