External Disk Drive Not Recognized
Last response: in Storage
I have a couple of disk drives from an old Tivo system that
I would like to do diagnostics on. I am using an IDE-USB cable
to connect the drives externally to my PC. When I power the
disk drives, I can hear them start up. A blue light comes on the
data cable. But my PC doesn't seem to recognize either of them -
when I look under Disk Management, they are not there. I am
testing them separately with a single cable.
Aside from a bad cable and completely dysfunctional hard drives,
is there anything else that could be causing this?
