Help attaching hard drive: Can either of you give me any suggestions on how to get this to work?

Hi Lori, I think your problem may lie in the format of your hard drive. More than likely your hard drive is formatted in the ntfs (windows xp and later file system). I am not sure but I am guessing that the easyshare dock reads fat file systems (most sd cards are in the fat file system). I do not own this dock (yet) so I cannot test this for sure. You may try to borrow a hard drive that is known to be in the fat file system and see if that works. Hope this helps

YEs, make sure that you "mount" the drive correctly first otherwise it won't work. Suggest that TRIM be enabled as well. There should be some installation videos online as well to help you get it working.

I have not personally tried a external hdd, I do know a xbox controller works, a keyboard and a mouse work, make sure the external hdd has its own power source as I tried using speakers and it fried my s3, and small usb flash drives also work,

Mmm ,,, What install/set Bios?? ... I put mine in and the system recognized it as drive g: and Done. Could be a bad drive as Andre says ... Try formating. My Sys is Win7/63bit HP Elite. If your replacing C: then use the transfer program from WD Free and works great.

PS: I meant to also add that you should scroll down to Page 7 of 17 in the Sabrent PDF manual; the pics will show how to install the SATA drive using the port on the Sabrent HD enclosure. The old saying... a picture is worth a thousand words applies!! (<;

Have you formatted the drive already? If so, check the power/SATA cables or switch to another SATA port.

Don't use the disk, just plug it in, and it should work. If not look online for the driver download.

to power the hard drive you need a 4 pin molex connector from the power supply. to connect it to the motherboard you're gonna need some kind of IDE to SATA adapter cable since this particular hard drive uses an older IDE connection

I apologize for taking so long to reply but I haven't been on my computer recently. My husband is the one wanting the hard drive and he said he wouldn't be able to know if it would work or not without seeing you computer.

I had the same issue. I even attempted to connect this to a "powered" USB port and still had nothing happen. I recently had the opportunity to test a Seagate Backup Plus Portable 1TB drive, which has a removable USB3.0 to SATA adapter. The Seagate adapter worked perfectly on all the drive I tested (i.e., 2.5" and 3.5" 1TB, 2TB, and 3TB). I'm now looking for a quality USB3.0-to-SATA adapter with a single cable, like the Seagate one.

Try another drive. If it recognizes a different drive, it is not an issue with the adapter and is likely a bad drive.

I don't understand your question. Are you saying that you lost the instructions for the Rosewill external drive? If you have placed the hard drive into the enclosure correctly and Windows 7 is not recognizing the drive then I ask "How is the drive connected to your machine"? If it is eSATA then I know that some motherboards seem to have a problem. The best solution is to use USB and there should be no complications. Please clarify!

Probably a driver issue since you're using XP. Check Seagate's website to see if there's a driver for XP for this HD.

Forget about the pins on each side of the piece! There is a connector in the center of the piece witch connects to the 2.5" sata harddrive , use a sata cable to the sata cableconnector which is the connector in the center of the piece/ {Neewer}. the sata harddrive does not connect directly to the piece {Neewer} . You also need a power cable that goes fromthe 2.5 sata harddrive to the power supply. Follow the directions that come with the {Neewer}. I am trying to make it as simple as possable. Hope this helps. The usb will take the nifo from the existing Drive! GOOD LUCK

Hi, it is easy to check whether it will work or not. check the pin connector in product picture and find out whether it will mate with your Hard drive. I googled your description and looks like it will mate, just in case verify it with pin connector as i told above.
