Bytecc BT-300 USB 2.0 drive mate problem: I am a PC user with WinXP O/S. My BT-300 worked fine when used along with 2.5 in laptop hard disk (power cable connected to drive mate). On the other hand, I am experiencing serious issues using it with 3.5 in hard disks (power cable connected directly to hard disk and drive mate used as USB only). I tried to follow the procedure provided by the manufacturer (pdf file). First, the power cable connection allows the hard disk to spin as explained. Next, as I connect the USB cable I get the 3.5 in HDD to be identified by XP and can be removed safely as a USB mass storage device. It is shown as installed and properly working in the hardware/device manager with the details from the hard disk (proper brand and model) whether I connect a Western Digital or a Maxtor which proves XP sees the hard disk and not only the drive mate.
Yet, after several minutes, no letter gets assigned to the drive and I am unable to access it's content since it doesn't show as a listed hard disk or removable device when I access 'my computer' with Windows Explorer.

The Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB hard drive is formatted for PC, not Mac. The simplest way to get your MacBook to recognize this new drive-and therefore copy the files from your old drive-is to plug it in to a PC and format the drive. I was advised to format with FAT 16, as this would be recognized by my MacBook.

Fortunately, the process was not that involved, since the Vista-driven PC found the drivers for the WD Scorpio Blue automatically. Once formatted, I safely removed the drive and plugged it into my MacBook via a USB port using a BYTECC Drive Mate. Magically, it now appeared on my MacBook Desktop and was recognized by the cloning software I was using, SuperDuper. Three hours later, the files on my old hard drive were successfully cloned onto the Scorpio Blue-except now I had an additional 364GB of storage space. Swapping out the old drive and replacing it with the new was not a big deal at all-just make sure you have the right screwdriver for the last task-a Torx #6. Mission accomplished.
Oct 24, 2009. Have you tried this in another PC with, say, WinXP? If it worked then it may be 1 of 2 problems: 1) Driver Issue- you may use a compatible driver and not necessarily a 'Fantom' driver. WinME needs drivers for these devices unlike WinXP 2) The USB port is not giving enough power to the drive for it to run (a problem common in older PCs). I have an external USB harddisk that needs to use 2 USB ports in my old Dell laptop since 1 USB port can't supply the power it needs. The cable should have a dual-USB jack on one end, this is so you could use the power from the other USB port. Hope this helps Jan 20, 2008.
G'day to all, I recently bought a new PC with win 10 on board. I now find that I want to retrieve some data from my old PC which is unserviceable. I purchased a 22 pin sata to usb cable.
When plugged in I find the Device manager will not find this new drive. The led's on the cable light up but the drive is not running. The old HDD is a 3.5' unit which ran on win 7. The old drive is a Samsung HD502HJ/b (part No.) and is in working condition.
I am wondering if it requires a driver of its own? Or something a more diverse problem like a usb 2.0 or 3.0 conflict, maybe. 3d resistivity inversion software. I am quite elderly and would appreciate any help from a kind person willing to help. Thanking you in anticipation, MaurieT. Welcome to the Ten Forums!
As I understand you bought a USB to Sate type cable that lights up but the drive doesn't do anything? Did you connect any power cable like the 12v 15pin Sata power connector from an external power supply for example?
If you only connected a data conversion cable the drive itself isn't powered up in order to be detected properly. You have two options for seeing this solved quickly. You can either buy a regular self contained external enclosure powered directly by usb or having a separate ac adapter or see the drive installed internally on the new machine where you then simply connect a data cable you added in along with using one of the connectors from the power supply. Once the drive is receiving power your next step will be to right click on the Start button to select the 'Disk Management' option. Once the screen for that finishes loading up you go upto the menu bar and click on the 'Actions' optoin to select the 'rescan disks' if not finding the new volume displayed. This will refresh the total number of drives shown where you then need to see the new drive initialized.
You may have to click on the square block at the left side next to the drive's volume while simply right clicking on it to use the 'Change drive letter' option should be enough for that. Since optical drives usually take up the D and E drive letters and second OS drives like F and G you can easily assign H often used by flash drives or virtual cd rom drives, J or K are good since those are rarely taken! I agree this most likely is a problem with power supply.
If the disc as you say is not spinning up, then Windows most likely does not identify it. I don't know, what type of cable you bought exactly - however, some case manufacturers solve this problem by selling their cases with a Y-cable: One connection for the drive on the one end and two connections for two USB ports on the other. Should the drive not get enough power to spin up, if you connect one of the USB ports, then you also connect the second.

Acoustica software products. I've had a USB 2.0 USB/Firewire IDE/SATA external enclosure in used now for several years. It takes EIDE as well as Sata II+III drives having the connectors for each type and offers an on/off switch as well as self contained.
That model is still available in black however while I got in blue. I wish I had seen the Sambient enclosure however since is fan cooled since that also takes IDE drives I need to access from old cases at times. That offers eSata as well as usb there. You might prefer something like this over simply having the wires hanging around with the drive itself simply laying around loose and unprotected. The cable you bought 22 Pin to Sata cable only works with 2.5' HD/SSD which draw the 5V DC from the USB port. Your Samsung HD is a 3.5' which requires both 5V & 12V. You'll need to get a cable with an external power adapter such as the one shown below: NOTE: For 2.5' HD/SSD.
About Us
You don't need to use the external power adapter & this converter is backward compatible with USB 2.0 Hi Topgundcp, thx for your reply. I tried to buy one of these cables but Amazon will not send to Australia. I understand all you stated and think this is the answer.
Can you think of anyone or anywhere else I can but this cable as it doesn't seem to be available on AU. I found one site but it only took me back to Amazon. Thanks again, cheers and beers, MaurieT. Too bad you could not get one shipped to AUS. FYI, not all the USB - Sata interfaces are the same. I like this one because it supports high capacity HD (4TB) and the power adapter is small compared to the others. Using an enclosure is OK for occasional use, not for continous use because there is not enough air flow inside the enclosure and hence will shorten the life of the HD.

In addition, if you have more than one HD's, you'd have to open the enclosure to swap it. However, The simpliest way for you now is just open the case. Look for an extra power connector from the PSU, I am sure there's couple extras in there then use a Sata cable to connect the HD to the Mother board. Boot up the PC and it should find the HD and automatically installs the driver for it. Here's an example from youtube on how to do it: NOTE: You need not to have the HD installed in the bay, just leave it hanging outside is OK unless you want to permanently install the drive as a spare in you PC.
