Full Discussion: Drive issue under Windows
Special Forums Windows & DOS: Issues & Discussions Drive issue under Windows Post 302764887 by pasc on Friday 1st of February 2013 05:39:30 AM
Old 02-01-2013
Formatted in NTFS.
Model: Western Digital Mobile Green

The funny thing is:

I can do two things:
1. Use the plate with a standard 2,5" drive adapter, then the problematic I posted will appear.

OR

2. Use it with one of the "R-Driver III USB 2.0 TO SATA IDE Cable Adapters" and Windows will ALWAYS:
- assign a drive letter to it,

BUT prompt me to fomat it.
=> running testdrive over that one will tell me that the "harddrive is too small, it seems to be a 13 GigaByte Drive Smilie.


To complete this post:
On how I created this disk:
I used the Integral copy station to copy my old harddrive bit-for-bit towards the new Western Digital one.


If nothing helps I will have to buy another 2TB one, copy my stuff to that one using windows and then copy all data back to the WD - again using Windows.

Too bad Windows takes 2 days to do that...


The only thing I could also try would be:
Insert the drive directly to my pc.
