hello
Like the tittle says i got a problem with a brand new HDD , it is a Barracuda ST2000DM001 im building my pc but im starting buying some parts before others. So anyways yesterday i got this HDD , obviously i tried it right away ; the first thing i did what to get out my old 500gb IDE HDD out of the External Enclosure and connect it via SATA and well this thing looks like it turn on but the computer wont recognize anything at all
I went to check the disk management hoping to see it there as unallocated Space but there was nothing.
I though i might give it a try and used and old pc with sata 1 and i installed the Drive there and it showed up and there was not problem at all , i even installed W8 and did some tests on it but when i try to use the Enclosure theres no way to make it work
Im sure its not a problem of the HDD if not i wouldnt have been able to use it in the old PC
But im wondering why if my 500GB HDD work well in the enclosure and the new one dont?
I even tried using other sata cabes but noo, i was thinking it might be that the connector of the sata is damaged on the Enclosure and the IDE no?
Aww anyways sorry for the wall of text
I just hope someone out there could give me a hand on this , i would really appreciate any help.
Thanks
