[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 231114, member: 2960"] Well, from the sounds of it and not being able to see them firsthand, it would sound like you have a serial cable and a power cable hooked into the drive, which would be needed. Both of them can only be hooked up one way, so unless you really had to force them in you should have it correct. If you have the USB 2.0 cable hooking the drive to the MacBook, try opening Disk Utility and see if you can see the harddrive that way. If you can, you may just need to format it. [/QUOTE]
