Hi all,

So question, my girlfriends laptop seems to have breathed it's last breath this week due to battery and charged port issues it seems. So i was tasked with getting some pictures. No big deal, but I put the drive into a blacx docking station, and connect it to my computer, but there's nothing to be seen. It seems to have no idea there's a device connected. Any ideas on things I can try to figure out why this is? And whether it's the drive itself or the docking station. Or something I'm overlooking?
 
Solution
When you connect/disconnect the docking station with the drive inserted, do you get the Windows sound alert like when connecting another other USB device?

I apologize for the delay in response, I actually cannot get it to spin. I power the dock up and it reflects with a small Noise as well as a blue led light. And then that's it. It also gives a flash of red which according to the manual means data transfer is taking place but I cannot locate the drive in my computer or even in disk management.
