Make sure the USB plug for the hard drive isn't 'reversed'. My $0.02



Usuallly this cannot happen because there is a notch in the plug.



Yeah, but there are older drives/plugs with gaps instead of pins, and the USB plug in the picture shows that the blanked socket is not being used. Maybe the other plug will allow it to be connected wrongly.

BTW, this is probably academic, if this is an XP NTFS(5) formatted disc. ME can barely read FAT32, IIRC Even the utilities might struggle if the disc had encryption on it...
