Do you have proof that he is a liar? I have been trying to give him the
benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to prove/justify his status and
have thought that he might have previously been a active MS-MVP.


Lemme guess... you still believe in Santa Claus, right?

That person posted a lot of messages in these groups before adding
"MVP" to his sig. That's enough for me.


The only information I have been able to find about him is that he may work
for Sun Microsystems and not for MS. However, based on his recommendations I
certainly do not consider him a software expert since they do not appear to
come from someone who has a masters or doctorate degree in computer software
which I feel would be the minimum education to be a "expert"

Also I am confused by C's statement that he is a MS-MVP but does not
explain
why he is not listed in the list of currently active MVPs. He implies that
he works the "MS privacy and disclosure unit" and that therefore he is a
currently unlisted active MVP. However, MVPs by definition do not work
for
MS.. I think he owes us a clearer understanding of his exact status.


He is a liar. I've had that person kill-filed for ages - long before
the claim of being an MVP.

Charles:
Actually, based upon our experience with dozens of USB external enclosures
designed for laptop/notebook 2 1/2" HDDs, Malke is correct in that the
majority of these devices (unlike USB external enclosures designed for 3
1/2" HDDs) do *not* include an auxiliary power supply (adapter), but rather
rely on the power supplied by the USB bus provided by the laptop/notebook.
As you probably know, and as Malke indicates, many of these device are
equipped with a 2-headed (Y-type adapter) USB cable so that sufficient power
will (usually) be supplied through two USB ports on the laptop/notebook.

While some of these USB enclosures designed for 2 1/2" hard drives *do*
include an auxiliary power supply, many (if not the majority in our
experience) do not contain such. You are fortunate that (apparently) the
enclosures in your possession have an auxiliary PSU/adapter. We generally
advise customers in the market for these devices to (preferably) purchase
one that does have an auxiliary PS/adapter or at the minimum is equipped
with a dual-head (Y-adapter) type of USB cable since we have experienced
problems with those units that do not contain such since the laptop/notebook
frequently will not provide sufficient power for the device using a single
USB cable with no auxiliary power to the device.

Since you mentioned newegg, you might want to take a look at their extensive
offerings of USB external enclosures for 2 1/2" drives at...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...24&name=2.5%22

While I haven't made a count, I'm sure a substantial number (if not a
majority) of these devices do not include auxiliary power adapters.

So you upgraded to Vista on the laptop? You can check in Device Manager
to

you probably do. If you don't, that could definitely be the issue.

Frankly, since the enclosure works on your office laptop I'd just pull

Anna, we are saying the same thing. I am talking about aftermarket
enclosures sold buy themselves. Retail USB drives with hard drive included
will usually only supply one USB cord for both power and data (example Mator
and Seagate). So take a closer look at NewEgg's line of USB enclosures
themselves and you will see that 9 out of 10 have under various brand names,
come with a power USB cable and seperate USB data cable. Make it a great day.

Not very good adivce for the OP Malke! Just about all usb 2.5
enclosures
come
with a usb power cord in additon to the USB data cable. This
depends on
the
drive being 4200RPM or 5400RPM which in my experience the power
cord is
required for all 7200RPM drives and some 5400RPM drives power
issues
with
USB devices.

I tried plugging it into my laptop at work. It mounts fine.

As for power - it does get power, the power light comes on and
the
disk
makes sound.

However my work machine is WIN-XP and is a newer model. My home
laptop
is
VISTA and about 4 years old. I also noticed that the Enclosure
has
a
USB
2.0 interface. Could this be my problem?

So you upgraded to Vista on the laptop? You can check in Device
Manager
to
see if you have USB 2.0 ports (they would show as "enhanced") but
I
think
you probably do. If you don't, that could definitely be the issue.

Frankly, since the enclosure works on your office laptop I'd just
pull
off
the data you want from there and burn to CD/DVD to transfer to the
home
computer. Maybe that enclosure is never going to work well with
the
home
laptop so you might as well stop messing about with it and get the
job
done
a different way.
