Thank you for the time and thought you have devoted to my little problem here. I guess I'm either going to return the drive to the store, or wait until my System 76 arrives and try it with that, or after the System 76 arrives and the laptop is rebuilt as a Windows system, use the drive with that. Or give it away to a relative who uses windows. Today's investigations have just about exceeded my limited tolerance for software engineering. (Past few jobs in the industry caused me to build up a severe auto immunity to software engineering.) You folks have more patience for this than I do. Best wishes and thanks a lot. Sky |
It's difficult to tell without trying the drive with Windows but it almost sounds like it could be a faulty drive.
In which order are you plugging in the cables when connecting the drive and do you hear it spin up and make the tell-tale "being read" sound? |

Yes I hear it spin up and the sound of head movement, seemingly normal. There are LEDs on the drive but they do not light. According to the documentation, they would be expected to light up ONLY if the provided software (for Windows or MAC) is in use. |
