[lynnrobw]

Hi! I have a USB 2 external drive enclosure that I put my old har
drive into that my Dell XP is not picking up. Wondering if there i
a special order to plug in and then turn on. I think I have trie
every option but may have missed one. Went into disk management a
was suggested by the manufacter and could not find it listed ther
either. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!!

Did you set the drive to master from cable select? Some of the enclosures i
have used require that.

Hi!

Hey, chin up.

I have a USB 2 external drive enclosure that I put my old hard drive
into that my Dell XP is not picking up.

Wow, who hasn't had a usb 2 external drive enclosure that you put your old
hard drive into that your dell xp is not picking up.

Wondering if there is a special order to plug in and then turn on.

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc. Just because two events happen one after the
other does not mean the first caused the second.

I think I have tried every option but may have missed one.

I am no more impressed by your transient encounter with lucidity than I
would be by a phonograph's momentary and inexplicable ability to stop
skipping.

Went into disk management as was suggested by the manufacter and could
not find it listed there either.

It's one of those mysteries. It's one of the mysteries that will be
revealed.

Any suggestions?

Yes. Get ****ed.

Thanks so much!

Thank you for being on time.

Does the drive appear in Device Manager?
Does the icon to disconnect the drive appear in the tray?

 

[JAD]

does the dell have USB 2.0 drivers installed?
