Again no Command Prompt (Admin), Presumably because i am already in an admin account?
However, I am beginning to get somewhere with HumaxRW. I have discovered the drop down menu with the front end programme that selects the drive required ( even though it is not seen). Due to other...

1. Switch mains on from cold.
Unit runs through start up procedure(disk active), then goes to standby. Disk stops, but 12v and 5v still present.

I have just opened up my old 9200 and both 12v and 5v are present on the HDD when in standby! My brain hurts! I will continue the investigation when I have a little more time in the next day or two
Thinking about it. you must be right (comment deleted!!) the HDD is obviously not powered in standby.

I used to understand what was happening at the time, but it's long ago (12 years) and nowadays I have trouble remembering if I have taken this morning's tablets
Just postage. In view of my comments above about compatibility, you might as well have the IDE-USB adaptor as well.. Please send me a Private Message (I think this forum calls them conversations) with your address etc
The cable simply taps into the existing cable. I think the 9200 needed to be in standby to avoid the clashes that you mention. I assume that the supply to the HDD is sill present in standby.
