    I am guessing it is not a jumper issue, if it detects the drive at all.

    You're probably right... I had some old Maxtors that did weird stuff when jumped as a slave without an actual slave on the channel...

    BINGO!!!!!!

    Should have tried it earlier!!!!

    I was using the power supply that came with the IDE to USB device i have for convenience as the leads from the power supply in the case are all nicely tied in a bundle and this IDE drive is outside my case.

    Now that I have plugged it into a propper power supply it is totally okay.

    I've installed teracopy also and it is being used although i don't think it is needed anymore tbh but good to have all the same.

    This really should have dawned on me earlier.

    Thanks again for everyones help!!
