Last week I picked up a new hard drive and router which I am both very happy with, and also an Icy Box IB-351 BL series, the one with both USB2 and firewire ports.
The plan was to remove my 2 IDE drives from my PC, replaced with my new 500GB sata drive, and use 1 of the IDE in my server and 1 in the icy box for storage, backup and easy transportation.
Connected it all up, powered on, the hard drive spins up and the blue LEDs around the side light up, but there is no sign of life on the PC. No balloon tip saying new hardware, nothing showing in Device Manager and disk is not present in Disk Management.
So I have now tried both the USB and firewire connections, tried it on two different PCs and have tested the USB ports with other devices. The leaflet in the box mentioned drives should be set to Master. I have tried this, Slave, Cable Select and Master with slave. I have tried both my IDE drives:
Seagate Barracuda ST380021A 80GB
Western Digital WD2000BB 200GB
but still no result. At this point I am considering it might be some faulty hardware. Does anyone have any suggestions or similar experiences?
Thanks.
