The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by wn411 in Windows XP Operating System, Hard Drives & Storage, Removable Backup Media
Hi, I am running XP SP3. I purchased a Seagate 500 GB SATA Drive. I am using a drive docking station via a USB connection. The drive is not being detected. It does not even show in disk management for me to format and assign a drive letter.
Since the docking station also has an eSATA connection, I was thinking about using that and an eSATA to USB adapter.
I have read that it could be everything from not enough amps at the docking station power supply to a firmware issue with the hard drive.
Does anyone have other ideas? Right now XP detects is as unknown in device manager. Nothing is listed in disks, storage disks or USB mass storage.
