Hi.

Have just installed the above but don't seem to be having any joy
getting the Satellite to recognise it.

Any suggestions?

thanks Andrew

It's not seen on device manager nor was there any plug and play magic
when it was turned back on.

I'll check the BIOS and report back.

all sorted!!! It turns out I was way too gentle installing it. Opened up
the box and shoved it in good and proper. All working now.

Thanks, though, for bothering to want to help even when I gave sod all
info :-)
