    Check Device Manager (Start, Control Panel, System, Hardware tab, Device Manager) and see is it working ok.

    Also, you using 2000, XP, or Vista.

    When I plug it into my vaio(vista os) I can see it in device manager->disk drives & usb controllers.With my dell (xp os) I can see it under usb controllers only.
    I put another drive into the casing and that worked,so casing ok.


    I put it into the second slot in my dell.Under bios it could tell me it was a 500Gb drive and would not show up under my computer->manage->device manager or disk management,Setting were correct.
