Hi, I have tried to use this IOMAX USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE Adapter Kit with Power: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
to connect an old 250 gb Samsung sata hard drive to my PC.
Windows won't recognise it as a hard drive/partition - the USB adapter device is recognised, and via Devices & Printers, it shows the drive, but not as a USB External Drive, (see image) so I cannot access it.
Is there a way of changing it's properties, or am I being a real dummy?
Be kind, it's nearly Christmas,
