trying to install an external HD enclosure — laptop

by sarahgyorog . Updated 19 years, 1 month ago

okay, i am trying to install this noname brand external enclosure. i had an extra HD so i thought this would be a good way to do backups…(im no tekno wiz) its called a

2.5″ USB 2.0 Aluminum Hard Drive Enclosure

the instructions are minimal at best. i think i have it all hooked up correctly but its just a guess. the light turns green at first and then red. it doesnt make the spinning sound it says it should and my computer doesnt recognize it.

mostly, i think there must be a small detail/secret that i am missing about this. so, if you know that secret fact please share!

im using a gateway thats about 3 years old.

oh yeah, and which way is supposed to be up? the green side that looks very important or the side with all the stickers?

thank you thank you thank you!
