Hi All
I have a Maxtor 250 GB SATA hard drive ...I want to use it as my
external hard drive with USB hookup to my computer. So i bought an
enclosure for SATA hard drives. I made hooked up everythng and it was
supposed to be a plug and play but my computer does not read the device
through USB. Could it be a problem with the hard drive itself

Please help me.
Thank you
 
Thanks Dave for the response. Well i am not really sure. i think it is
not because i just purchased it and took it out of the box. Is there
any way i could check if the hard drive is working or not.
Thanks again Dave.
 
right click my comp
choose manage
double click storage
right click new drive
choose new partition
and wait to format
 
The problem is when i connect my external enclosure which is SATA to
USB, windows XP doesn't recognize the drive. In the storage i didn't
see any new new drive. Is there any way i can format the external SATA
hard drive?
