It's an older portable HDD, Maxtor, FAT32 file system, which comes with dual USB port cable. It works with other PCs (with that cable), yet the odd thing is that if I plug in both USB plugs, it powers the drive but the drive does the serial-clicking noise as if it isn't receiving enough power, but if I only plug the power USB cable in, it powers up the drive in a healthy-sounding fashion (the drive isn't detected by the OS, to be expected). Either way, I can't get the Mac Mini to read the data off it. The data access light doesn't flash at all on it, just stays lit.
Any suggestions?
