I have a WD external 2.5" drive that has stopped working (it disappeared from Explorer the other day). I removed it from the WD enclosure and plugged it into my laptop's internal bay and booted from a Live CD. I can see the contents of the drive, so I assume it's OK. I bought a new external enclosure, but this shows the same signs as the WD original one did - drive doesn't appear in ...

Hi, My laptop died a few weeks ago, so I've since bought a new PC and a 2.5 inch IDE enclosure for the HD from my laptop. I think the disk should be okay, as it was power issues along with a lot of wear and tear that saw the end of my laptop. Anyway, I plug the enclosure into my PC, however I can't get it to work. I've tried it on 3 different machines... Two of these are running XP....

Other USB devices, including a USB flash drive, work fine when connected to the laptop. But when I attempt to connect the hard drive in its enclosure, I get the following results from dmesg: Code: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ...

Hi all, I'm looking to purchase a USB HD enclosure that automatically supports RAID 1 for data redundancy. I'm hoping to spend as little as possible, and am willing to trade HD space for cheapness. I really would be happy with 2x250+ drives, but it seems most external enclosures that support RAID 1 are in the 2x500 range. I've actually only heard of the Western Digital My Book Mirror...
