I removed my external harddrive from it's case as you described in your post and removed the USB card and connected it as a slave and connected power to it. I have tried over and over and cannot get my PC to recognize it. Any suggestions? I have powered it off and back on and the icon showed up in the lower right stating that new hardware has been installed but I cannot find this drive anywhere. Shouldn't it show up in My Computer as another drive? Thanks for any help you can offer.
