Here's the sitch:
Ripped out Hitachi Travelstor HD from a dead laptop. Bought a 2.5" to 3.5" IDE converter. Have got the jumpers sorted for Pri and Sec, BIOS is happy.
The drive runs perfectly under XP MCE (Pro), but when I try to shut down the system it won't power down. The LED on the power button switches off and it makes noises like it's switching off, but the screen stays on and the power supply is still live (all fans running).
It's definately the drive, it works fine without, but I was wondering if there is any more advice in the collective knowledge so that I can use the drive, thinking Power management problems, but can't find a fix.
Thanks for ant thoughts,
CBA
