I just installed one of my spare Seagate IDE drives (40 gb) into a new Nexxtech drive case.
Drive spins up, and jumper pin is set to MASTER, per instructions.
But it won't mount in Windows XP, or Mac OS X.
On the Windows side, Windows is trying to mount this drive every few seconds - "da-DINK", and then 10-15 seconds later, "DE-dink", as if it's mounting and then unmounting the drive. You've all heard that sound before, right? Device Connect.wav, and Device Disconnect.wav
Nothing shows up in My Computer, or on the OS X desktop. Not sure how this drive is currently formatted, however. But why should that stop Windows from mounting this drive?
Pin selection is set to Master, as I said earlier. Pin diagram is on the bottom of the drive, thankfully.
What's up with this? I though this would be a no-brainer, and I'd be backing up data to this drive by now.
Nexxtech case looks identical to my present Acomdata case, which works fine. No snags installing the drive into this case at all.
What did I miss?
Thanks!
