Keep in mind that your USD-to-IDE adapter might need its own power supply... and so might the disk (depending on the model). Only the low power 2.5 inch drives can be powered directly by the USB port... others need a separate power line to them.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
- Do you know for sure the USB-to-IDE adaptor is OK ?<br>
<br>
- Does the mount command show anything ? How about something like<br>
qtparted (or gparted etc.) ?<br>
<br>
cheers Chris<br>
