[QUOTE="papercut, post: 400210, member: 23399"] I think cazabam hit the nail on the head. Probably not getting enough power from the laptop USB port. You could try a powered USB port replicator or get a three-headed USB cable (two ends to connect to the laptop's two USB ports, and one end for the HD). I don't know why it works but apparently that sends enough juice through the cable to power the drive. -- [/QUOTE]
