Hello everyone, after searching the threads, I couldn't find an answer that worked for me.
I ordered two Western Digital Caviar Green 500 GB for a computer I recently built. I am using one for the main HD in the computer and the other as an external HD.
The enclosure is from Rosewill. It is the eSATA and usb 2.0 enclosure. So When I have my computer on and try to connect the external, the computer will recognize it as a Mass Device. I would have to go to disk management to see the "USB Mass Device".
The problem is I don't know where to go from here. I mean the computer seeing something is a step in the right direction right?
I also have multiple wires and multiple eSATA ports so faulty wires and ports shouldn't be the problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Also, I'm working from a laptop, so I can respond fast with any of your suggestions.
