Hi. I plugged in two different external drives working fine on other computers and my powerbook can not find them. I don't know what's wrong but need to find out. One drive has self power cable so it is probably not a power issue? USB ports are working fine for other peripherals... Does anyone know what is going on? Thank you. |

Some external drives require two usb cables to get enough power to power it on and get it spinning. if it still doesn't work with two cables, there may be a problem with one of your USB ports or a compatibility problem with the external drive. |
