When I plug in the computer USB port the drive is not detected; the green led blinks and I can hear weak continuous beeps. It is a Seagate 750GB external hard drive.
Assuming the drive is ok (have you tested it on another computer) it might be, that it demands too much current from the USB port - had this with an older FSC drive (I think with a Seagate or WD drive builtin). Regards, Stone
External HD is composed by two parts: a controller and a classic HD. I would try to open it and conect the HD directly to the mainboard with the right interface (sata or parallel) … if it works by anothe case/controller (very cheap) if it’s not recognised … it’s above my knowledge ….
