external drive

hoi guys

i ve had my external seagate drive for quite a time now but since last week it doesnt work anymore.

now i thought perhaps the defect happened to the external powerpart of the drive and i unmounted it outof the box.
now i want to build it into my pc and try it.

anybody of u already tried that before?
what do i need to know?

you need nothing to know, just put the cables from you PC which you arent using in ur harddrive from ur external case and done?

i did it and it works!

you just have to mark the external drive as a slave. for the instructions and correct "jumpering" just look at the top or bottom on your hd.

well i have indeed some jumper instructions on the top of my plate but they only show the positions for: master = on/slave = off, cable select and limit capacity to 32gb

what do you suggest?

can u remember how u set the jumper?

sorry need to do this in german now, can't translate everything...

Auf deinem Mainboard sollte aber auch ein IDE Anschluss sein (für dein DVD-Laufwerk i.d.R.). Nimm einfach das Kabel davon falls du kein anderes IDE Kabel da hast. Leider hat dein Mainboard vermutl. nur einen IDE-Anschluss und keine 2 mehr.Setz also den Jumper der Festplatte auf "slave" (normalerweise ist irgendwo auf der Platte ein Kleber wo beschrieben ist wie du den jumper setzen musst).
Dann stecke die Platte ein und sie sollte erkannt werden.

ggf. kann noch das Problem bestehen das der Laufwerksbuchstabe in Windows schon vergeben ist. Mach nen Rechtsklick auf deinen Arbeitsplatz -> Verwalten -> Datenträgerverwaltung
Und schau da nach ob die Platte erkannt wird. ggf einen rechtsklick drauf -> Laufwerksbuchstabe ändern auf Z: oder irgendwas was frei is.


Edit:
Wenn du die möglichkeit hast dein DVD-Laufwerk und die Platte auf "cable selected" zu jumpern, dann mach das und stecke beide ein, sollte normalerweise funktionieren !
