I purchased an All in One Docking station from a company in Hong Kong. My desktop will NOT recognize this device?? Nor, will my Laptop?? Anyone got any suggestions on how to resolve this problem. Thanks.

Just because I'm psychic. $9.95 a minute. ;)

Or, you could go the cheaper route and tell us what hardware and operating systems you have there. (Or you might just try installing the drivers for the thing.)

I'm happy to say that my "All in One" docking station is up and running. Had to go into admin and "format" the WD internal HD. My computer now recognizes the device. Thanks to everyone for you suggestions.

and it is a bit of a pain to setup, best bet is always the docking station made by the laptop maker.

A docking station for a desktop? I stand confused.

There can be OR is nothing like All in One Docking Station leave alone for Desktop. Each Manufaturer/Vendor has their own designs for Docking Stations.

My all in one docking station is working fine with the Sata HD but for some strange reason it will not recognize an old IDE HD that I removed from my other computer?? Any suggesions here. Thanks!!

a little bit more about your gadget.
Is it a box with a USB connection?
Do you have any link to the product?
What does it look like?

by tobif

Maybe you need to check jumper settings on your IDE drive (if it's that old.)?

I'd guess the IDE drive needs to be configured as Master or Cable Select.

Yes, it is a red & white box that connects via USB. It has two (2) USB inputs plus it's a card reader as well and it's powered by an AC adapter. It has two (2) slots for HDs, one SATA & one IDE..

Tell us the make and Model so that we know what you are talking of.

by dermaman

Yes, Peconet, that's exactly the same device that I have.

Thanks TobiF...I will try the configuration and see what happens. Hoping this will work but if it does not..the HD itself might be bad, which I don't understand because it was working fine in the computer from which I removed it.
