I guess I will do that. I might just need to check the drive in my laptop and see if it gets recognized in BIOS to see if it could be the cable at fault. If it is the connectors on the hard drive end, since this drive is OEM, am I S.O.L.? :P It is only a 10gb drive, and I can easily fit all my music that I had on the rio on the other drive, but .. space is space..
