    External Firewire Hard drive

    Well I found out the hard drive was doa. I took it to a firewire card that I know works and it never saw the hard drive. I then removed it from the casing and attached it internally and the drive would not even spin up. Well I am sending it back RMA, will have to wait a few weeks for it now...

    External Firewire Hard drive

    It does not show up in disk management either, it shows up no where on the system. There is power getting to the drive, when I turned on the power usually there is a pop up saying that new hardware was found, well there was nothing like that.

    External Firewire Hard drive

    I am setting up the drive for another user and did not have the instructions with the hard drive. The drive isn't a one touch drive either. All I had were the instructions for the firewire card. Thanks for the help and the instructions for the drive. The hard drive doesn't look quite like that...

    External Firewire Hard drive

    The OS is XP professional, it does not show up in My Computer either. Will fdisk see the hard drive if it is on a firwire card? I have nothing else to try on the card, I guess I can wait till I get another device I can try.

    I hooked up an external firewire hard drive and I can not see it in explorer. The firewire card shows up in device manager. The card is an adaptec firewire card and the hard drive is a maxtor. Any help would be great. Thanks.
