Hello
I got one of these, (docking station) to try and retrieve some files from the hd of my non operating desk top. I installed the hd and hooked up the station and got nothing. I do not have a 3.0 usb port to plug the unit into, but it says it is compatible with 2.0. On my win 8 laptop nothing pops up on screen. Going to control panel I can locate an icon for the docking station, click it and then have an option to browse the files on storage device. When I click that option, a faded button comes up, (I think it was e:drive), but, it does not react to the cursor/mouse.
I followed the hook up procedure correctly, so, does this mean the hd is inoperable? Hooking it up to a win 7 vaio all in one, stuff does auto pop up on the screen, (new device, dl driver etc) but in the end, the result is the same, a button that does not react. How can I tell if this hd is what made the desk top crash, (I had assumed it was the operating sytems inability to update, which people told me would eventually cause a crash)? Does anyone think the hd is bad or am I missing some step in trying to access it with the docking station? Thanks for any input
