    Hi

    You say an external hard drive which would suggest it is USB but that error is normally with IDE drives. Can you give a make and model of the 500gb hard drive and how you are connecting it please.

        That's it. What happened was I knocked it off of the desk and bent the connection. I took it apart and found the Sata connections inside. So I hooked it up that way using Sata to IDE adapdors.  Maybe not the right thing to do?
