JAVF319 1 Posted August 14, 2014 So this is the problem: Im trying to connect another SATA HDD to my RGH console using an USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA apapter, the case is that my console can't see my new hard drive but it shows the message box saying that a new device has been mounted in the system. I can't transfer any files to the disc or from the disc cause like said i can't see it. I tried using NTFS format at first, then FAT32 and lately restarting the box and nothing changes. Do i need to save a special or something? Thanks for your future help. And by the way the HDD it's a laptop drive, Fujitsu is the brand and 80GB is the capacity, formated to FAT32 and works on windows perfectly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
datastream 101 Posted August 14, 2014 I'm thinking it's something to do with the power from the USB 2.0 via the xbox 360 to the drive IDE/SATA adapter. Can you power it another way....get rid of the IDE/SATA adapter...... maybe a SATA adapter that has it's own power... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
