I have an external USB Harddrive (Western Digital My Passport 320gb) that works on a number of other systems except for the one I just built. I'm thinking it's a motherboard issue, although I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated, here at the stats:
ASRock Supercomputer X58
Intel Core i7 920
12GB OCZ DDR3 1600
NVidia GTX 275
Western Digital 1TB SATA HD
Lite-on 22x DVD-R
CM Stacker 830SE Case
Corsair 750W
Windows XP x64 (I have also tried with a LiveCD version of Ubuntu 8.10 x86 and 8.04 x64, same results)
Basically what happens when I plug it in is the lights blink for a second, then shut off. When the machine is booting and it is plugged in, I can hear the computer accessing the drive (although it makes the same sound a dead drive did that I used to have). A few people have suggested that I go into the Disk Management tool under Windows to check the drive, but neither that or my Device Manager sees the drive at all. Once again, thanks for any help.
