So we know that the USB socket works then. Did the disk drive come with an auxillary power supply or USB cable only ? IS there a socket for one if it didn't ?

It wouldn't be there if it wasnt needed :wink:

Some laptops struggle to deliver enough power hence the auxiliary power socket, I would imagine that is your problem. When you plug it in and then click on Computer is the drive listed in there ?

Ive got a halfords inverter 12v to 230, its been used once to run a laptop and just sits in the back of my car, just a few scratches on it.
Also has all the safety cut off and low battery thing going on.

I will bring it tomorrow if you want to make my an offer :wink:
