Hi, thanks for your patience.

I bought an IDE USB connector. From the old drive, there is one wire to power it from a wall socket, the other; going directly into the Mac via USB. The light it on the drive which is telling me that it's getting fed power. But nothing is coming up on the Macintosh - no windows, no nothing...it's like it the IDE doesn't even exist.

I'm not even sure how to do it manually i.e - go looking for the harddrive that might show up somewhere. On PC I used to go to My Computer when things didn't start automatically as you do...

CAn you tell me what software I need to download?
