[QUOTE="LAV, post: 51720, member: 1123"] Ok! So removing one of the two drives from the Intel MB and connecting the 1GB in its place, the PC detects the disk and boots! 8) Thx Enigma, never even thought about PSU limitations. Still it remains interesting why the external enclosure with eSATA will not work (own PSU), but it does work in USB mode. I found an interesting note in the Samsung pamphlet inside the packaging, it states that in some instances older 1.5 Gb/s controllers will not detect 3.0 Gb/s drives. They apparently have a utility which allows you to switch a newer drive between the two speeds. Moral of the story (part 1)...the next PC will have a much fatter PSU... :) Thx for all the help & feedback guys! [/QUOTE]
