Er, no. I don't power down my server/workstation. It ain't Microsoft. :-)

This is a new 2.5" hard drive I was going to use in a notebook. It is in
an enclosure I bought last week at ENU.
I think it may be a power issue. I just hooked up the oversize IBM
Travelstar to the Bytecc adapter, and it was seen immediately. I can mount
/dev/sda1, 2, or 3 and read/write to those filesystems.
I'll try the new drive on this adapter.
