Thecus YES nano N1050 Help Please

Just recently purchased 2 yes nano and a hard disk.

Problem is that it is not recognised on any of my systems at all. I have tried it on two diferent computers( Win XP) and it has not been recognised either as a usb devise or external Hard drive.

I cant format what is not recognised by my computers.I have checked in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management to see if the drive is there, and it is not. The disk is a brand new WD 80gb scorpio.

Anybody got any ideas, or should i just rma it back to scan. Your help is much appriciated.

Quick checks - are the cables in correctly and is the ON/OFF switch on PC?

Yes cables are all in correctly.

Please advice re 'is the ON/OFF switch on PC?'

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I was not around my Pc over the weekend.

Many thanks

Possibly not enough power for the drive from the USB port perhaps?

Have you tried the external power supply?

If this doesnt work I suspect you may have a configuration problem with your PC or the thecus is indeed faulty :(

vicar, make sure the silver switch at the front is set to PC. The switch has 3 settings Off / PC / Copy

maybe turnng on Removable Storage in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services might do the trick

did you get it working then vicar?

Hi guys sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

I have not been able to get it working.

I have used the external power supply, set it to PC with no joy.

I am out of ideas any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks.
