Help required, enabling an external USB HDD.
Hello,
My wife is currently using build 10130, and is trying to use her SATA HDD (which was her 2nd HDD) externally, with a SATA to USB adapter.
However, on plugging the HDD in, all that shows as new in Devices and Printers is the following "USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge". The HDD that she is trying to access doesn't appear at all.
The adapter has one SATA connector, and two USB connectors. All are plugged in, and there are two small LEDs for Power and Access. The Power LED is lit steady, however the Access LED is unlit. I've just tried on my Win 7 PC, and have exactly the same symptoms. Can anyone please suggest a fix?
Very Best Wishes,
Bob.
