I am suspecting this is a File System error on the MBR or the Volume Identifier itself, as just prior to this I was attempting to plug it in to the Docking station to format it, and that slide switch on the bottom of the docking station. the Data on it is not important, but I would like to salvage the drive if possable rather than throwing it out. The Hard drive is spinning up and than cutting out, it does this once than spins back up. This actually may be the hard drive itself, as I just tried it in the vista computer and it is reading Disk boot faliure.

How do I get my computer to recognise this thing, so that I can access the drive and then format it. It says it supports, Windows 2000 to 8, Linux and Mac and can support above 3TB HDD's on windows 7 and 8 There is also a slide switch on the bottom of it which I have yet to figure out, so far it appears to do nothing like the device itself. I can tell this device was made for more than just cloning because it has a Built in Card Reader and 2 USB ports on the front so it's not the wrong device.

The only instructions that came with the device are to do with cloning. or a different SATA drive that is from a different computer and not from the NAS. I am running Windows 7, and have also tried this on windows Vista, I have installed the entire contents of the driva CD on both computers and still I get the same results. It is not showing any additional HDD, I know it is not a physical problem with the drive as it works fine in my NAS, and the Docking station does show up as Generic USB Storage, and in the BIOS I can also see the SATA Drive as USB WD.īut I can not access the drive from my computer or anywhere else. So I get it unboxed plugged in SATA Drive connected and docking station turned on. So I Just bought a All in one Dual IDE / SATA, HDD Docking Station to try and solve the VIA RAID Controller problem.
