Hi Guys and Gals
Ive just bought a new WD 500GB USB2 hard drive for storage. Before I send it back could anyone tell me if I am missing something stupid?
I have followed the instructions (such as they are)
1.plugged in power supply and connected
2.Plug in USB lead and connected
3. switch on
4.nothing hapened
now even I could follow those rules they're too Mac
I have replaced the USB lead with a NEW one,good job I live next door to a computer shop.
I get a green light for power The disk is spinning (Ican hear it just)
Am I doing something stupid???
No it is not showing in either System profile or disk utility and I am connecting to a working USB port
Cheers all
