MaurieT Welcome to the Ten Forums!Īs I understand you bought a USB to Sate type cable that lights up but the drive doesn't do anything? Did you connect any power cable like the 12v 15pin Sata power connector from an external power supply for example? If you only connected a data conversion cable the drive itself isn't powered up in order to be detected properly.
