Hardware
120GB WD 8m cache ata 100
external 3.25 enclosure USB 2
Software
XP and Partition Magic 8
Problem 1: What is correct jumper setting for a hard drive in an external enclosure (the only one) in order to function correctly?
Problem 2 : Using a dell laptop with USB 1. Set external hd jumper to CS or Cable Select. Plugged in back of USB port. XP said hi speed device plugged into non hi speed hub etc..
Rebooted, windows found new mass storage device, format screen came up automatically. Proceeded to format with NTFS as a logical drive. Using Partition
Magic8, converted NTFS to FAT32 for max compatibility. Problem: PM8 gave errors. Now am not able to recognise HD in XP. System Manager says device working
ok USB external HD but my computer shows no hd. Disk Management Shows no external hd. Also red access light on ext USB hd now permanently on. Tried
changing jumpers over to Master and Slave, no progress.
What is the correct procedure to get my external HD working with a FAT32 logical partition? So far, PM8 and disk management wont let me delete the partitions
erroneously created.
THANKS
