Hard Drive Docking Station All the Sabrent Hard Drive Docking Station work the same way.There are 2 steps to installation: (1) Assembly and (2) Hard Drive Setup.AssemblyHard Drive Docka. Insert the Dc IN cable into the Power Interface of the Dock with the other end connected to your power outlet. b. Insert the USB PORT into Dock with other end into Pc USB port.c. Populate Dock with Hard Drive. d. Press on the power button.e. The dock LED should light up and Hard Drive should now spin/vibrate, indicating that the Hard Drive is powering up. ***If the Hard Drive does not spin, it may indicate that the hard drive itself is no longer working. Quite often, older desktops that have failed may also have a malfunctioning hard drive. HDD Enclosures can only access working drives. However, sometimes the Enclosure Power Supply is the problem. Try a 2nd hard drive in the enclosure to isolate the problem.f. Connect the USB Data Cable from the Enclosure to the Computer you are trying to mount the hard drive to.g. A Drive letter should appear in MY COMPUTER, indicating that the Hard Drive has mounted and the data is accessible.*** If you do not see the Drive Letter for your hard drive, continue to the following procedures.Assembly FAQSIf you get a USB error (i.e. USB Device not recognized, code Error 10) 1. try using a different Hard Drive.2. try connecting to a different USB port on the computer (Sometimes rear ports work more reliable than front panel ports)3. try connecting to a different computer.If that still does not work, that may indicate that the Enclosure itself is not working and needs to be replaced. Hard Drive SetupFor Windows 2000/XP/VISTA/7/8, no drivers or software are necessarry.If the Hard-Drive is brand new you may need to initialize it first in order to cause the Drive Letter to appear:Click the Start button, right-click on “My Computer”, and select “Manage”:Click on “Disk Management”:Locate the drive in the right column and right-click on the drive and click “New Simple Volume”:At the following prompt, click “Next”:Click “Next”:Assign a drive letter to the drive, then click “Next”:Click on “Format this volume with the following settings:” Change the “File system” to “NTFS”. Change the “Volume label” to what you want the drive to be named. Click the checkbox for “Perform a quick format”.Click “Next”:Click “Finish”. Windows will now begin formatting and initializing the disk:Open “My Computer” and verify that the drive shows up properly:If the drive has already been formatted, you can skip these steps.Check the “Device Manager” to make sure that the “USB Mass Storage Device” driver appears under the “Universal Serial Bus Controllers” section. Also check that the drive shows up under “Disk drives” as a “(Hard drive model number) USB Device”. There should be no error message in your Device Manager, such as a bold ? or ! :You may also need to change the HDD settings from Dynamic to Basic, then format NTFS, and give it a drive letter, but you should back up the data on your drive before doing this. To convert the disk from Dynamic to Basic follow the instructions at the link included. Note: Make sure to disable disk drive password protection Frequently Asked Questions:My drive died or was damaged in my previous computer. Will it work with this adapter?This adapter is the equivalent of plugging in the drive directly into your computer’s IDE or SATA port. If the drive was damaged to the point where it doesn’t work when plugged directly into the computer, then it is likely that it will not work using this adapter.I set my IDE drive’s Jumper to the Master setting, but it still doesn’t show up on my computer.Usually you will have to set the Jumper to Master, but depending on the specific drive and the specific settings of the computer, you may have to set it to Slave or Cable Select. My drive doesn’t show up on my computer, but it has data and works elsewhere.Make sure you are connecting the Hard Drive in the correct sequence: First connect the power supply, and then connect the USB Cable to the computer. Why doesn’t my 3 TB hard drive show up as full capacity? If the drive has is set to MBR (Master Boot Record) partition, then it will only allow a maximum usable amount of 2TB. This limitation cannot be overcome in Windows 2000/XP. In Windows Vista & 7 there is support for larger Hard Drives when you use the GPT partition type: To convert the disk to a GPT partition disk in Windows Vista and Windows 7:Go to “Disk Management” (See steps 1-3), locate the disk in the list, right click the disk and click on “Convert to GPT Disk”. You should now have access to the full capacity of your >2 TB disk partition.Hard Drive Duplicator FunctionThe Sabrent EC-HDD2 its Standalone Duplicator Dock lets you duplicate/clone an existing hard drive without the use of a host computer system, or can be connected to a computer system for use as an external hard drive dock.To use Hard Drive Duplicator Function *Plug in Both hard drives and identify Source Disk and Target DiskHDD1=Source Disk; HDD2=Target Disk*Connect power supply and switch on power.
