Re: Vista post SP1 can't see my external HDD-help! Hi Dwarf. Thanks very much for your efforts. I had hopes you might be right but I just mailed Wayne at Envizage and he tells me it is an IDE drive in there.
I have tried different cables etc. Also the drive still functions as a media player and plays movies on my TV so the thing seems to be working as it should from that perspective.
So it boils down to two choices- uninstall SP1 or get the drive out and put it inside my box.
I don't really want to do either. SP1 has benefited my system in other ways and if it's as hard to get off as it was to get on then that's a problem.
The second choice I think is beyond my skills. I have two SATA drives in my box and it's pretty crowded and I wouldn't know how to do it. Would it be compatible, what plugs do I use etc?
I'm really fed up about this, John
PS how do I get a cool image on my posts like you and others have? |
