External Backup Disk Drive

[Ramesh Rao]

Fr.Denis Carter,

I have plugged in power supply to the unit  and connected the unit to the usb port with USB  connector. There is "Power" on light that however turns "steady green" ONLY when the connection is detected by  OS. In my case, since it is not detected, the green light does not glow.

Using Gparted, however, the external drive IS detected by  the utility and hence the Green-light does glow.

Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

Ramesh
