Help: USB IDE adapter, connecting 3.5"HDD to TP doesnt

[nelson_vladimir]

Anyone here got experience with USB IDE Adapter connecting a desktop HDD to my T40?

I have connected the Cable, Power Cord, set the HDD in Master mode. Connected, and nothing happened.

Any idea?

Many many thx in advance.

Is the HD spinning up?

External power supply correctly connected? USB port/s can't provide enough power to supply a 3.5" HD.

Are you certain the HD is correctly attached to the IDE interface card?
