Hello
I have IDE to USB cable. I tried one laptop hard drive. Plugged it into my
desktop. In my computer , it recognizes it as drive E & also shows up in the
device manager. 30 Gb Toshiba
But when I put the 60 Gb Toshiba it does not recognize the drive in my
computer or the device manager.
Both drives work well in the laptop itself. I was able to format the drives
& install Win XP Home.
I recently trashed some drives because they did not show up in my computer ,
so now I'm wondering if they were actually defective hard drives.
Anyone have a solution or have a similar problem.
Thanks.
