Rock Mobile Disk setup

[giorgos]

Hi, I just bought the Rock Mobile External Hard Disk, I can't able to make my Windows detect it. I don't have any manual with this, there are 2 usb jacks coming out of the same end of the usb cord, i don't know why, as i'm connecting it, it windows should show it in My computer as the removable disk but there is nothing showing like that. Please someone make me understand the installation procedure for this Rock Mobile external hard disk, I'm trying to make it work on windows xp. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried all the USB ports? first try to plug it on the back panel USB ports. There can be Faulty USB cable , USB socket , drive . Can you hear the sound when you plug it in? If this is a self powered external drive - generally a 2 1/2" drive, without an external power supply - the 2 USB connections are required to draw power from 2 USB ports. A single USB port cannot supply enough power.

It should have come with the CD. Normally XP and vista doesn't gives this type of problems. I remember once i also bought an exernal drive long back, and was facing same issue, the fix for me was to format the hard disk first. I took it in to a computer shop with my laptop and they did for me. There is no information on Google on Rock drives.
