They spin when i turn the enclosure on and Windows recognizes the enclosure but the drive doesn't show up. I tried it with an old drive I had and that worked fine. Its just the newer ones that do nothing but spin....Is there something I'm supposed to do differently to "activate" them in windows or something? --- "I devour urine just like my Portland Trailblazers, with piss poor defense." <cite>VipaGTS posted [p:950219320] in How do i g...
