Hi,
I have just bought one of these 2.5" enclosures but I'm not getting very far with it:
Fitted hard drive OK, plugged in USB cable to Mac at one end, small USB plug into enclosure, plus USB-to-power-plug cable plugged in. The 5 blue stars light up - also they begin fading on and off, but no icon appears on desktop - so it's not there.
Also tried with a PC laptop, which sent messages like 'exceeded hub voltage' etc, so it sensed it, but it didn't show up in 'My Computer'; I could use the 'safely remove hardware' option, so again there was some sensing going on but... not usable.
I think i've followed the instructions OK, although there is the power lead having 2 USB plugs that I'm not sure I'm using properly - tried various combinations
Does anyone have any suggestions please, as to why I'm not getting anywhere?
Any ideas much appreciated, thanks in advance

Exceeded Hub Voltage is not a good sign.
Try re-installing the chipset drivers, and the USB Y-cable power adaptor, is just supposed to be plugged into two USB ports. Try out a different cable if possible.
(Have you checked in Disk Management ?)
