I think I may have made an error in my last post. Anyway by powering up the
external HD and then plugging in the esata cable it works fine. The Vantec
instructions say not to do this!! It will only install doing this so I assume
either a typo error in the instructions or I have a weird PC!! Thanks,PeterG
