hi all,
i ve seagate barracuda 3,5" 7200.10 320gb IDE hard disc.
im tie up it with IDE-USB transformer to my computer (FS Amilo pi 2540) but windows 7 does not recognize it.
does anybody have an idea about solution?
@26mi24, does windows show anything in Device Manager (Unknown Device or similar)? You may have some options.
1 If it's an 'Unknown Device' you may ba able to right-click & 'Update' driver. This should search Windows Update for drivers.
2 Try to google search for drivers.
3 If your HD came with an installation CD (some do), then try installing the drivers from the CD. I've had issues sometimes when hardware is not recognised untill the software is installed & not when it's plugged in.
Hope this info helps :)
p.s. i'm using an external 250GB IDE HD & it's detected every time so I can't see why yours would not

@Orbital Shark,
windows shows it as an Unknown Device. i tried to make an driver update but windows didnt found any driver. and i has not any installation cd
this is an internal HD :) not external. i want to use it with IDE-USB transformer.
The only other thing I can think of is to try the latest build (7068) as it's got a lot more device drivers than when 7000 first appeared. I take it you're using build 7000?
Plus it's a lot more stable :)
