Windows, nor bios, will detect the usb hdd. It's 250gb, the cable plugs into a usb port on the computer and a usb 2.0 on the hdd. There is definitely power to it, and everything is connected right, so whats wrong?

Jump to PostDoes it show up in Device Manager? You just might need to "activate" it and set up a formatted partition.
Jump to PostWhat about in Disk Management?
Click on Start, right click on My Computer, select Manage. Once you're there, you should see a Folder on the left hand side that says "Disk Management". Click on that.
If Windows is recognizing the drive, you should see an entry in there.
