External harddrive help

[gwarren007]

I just purchased an usb hd case for a 160gb seagate hd. Drive is 2 months old, ran in my system for 2 months. formatterd in in a second computer with Partition magic, no issuses. I put in the enclosure, connect it, power up, it says a Usb Device is connected and there was a problem during installation. Does not show up in disk management.
?

Which enclosure? make/model/link?

Which drive? make/model/link?

NTFS or FAT32?

Do any external USB drives work on your system?

I'm guessing its a faulty enclosure, but do you have another HDD you can test it with?
