I have a 3.5" 60GB drive which i want to use as a external hard disk . I already had the casing but do i need to change any jumpers or any other stuff that i have to keep in mind . HELP !!!!!!!!

set d jumper 2 Cable select mode

will never face ne problem

but if u wan 2 b sure den u must refer d casing's manula 2 b sure wat settings must d jumper b on

Yup most of them require it to be set to cable select mode or no jumper..

ThanX guys . Well , the jumper was on cable select , still it was not working.

No manual was provided with the casing . The casing was from "SVB" ( searched quite a lot but couldn't find another in Nagpur). The hard disk is spinning , but then nothing else happens . May be the circuit is faulty .

probably a faulty case

First I would like to say thank you for your help, the problem was the external HDD case. I removed the drive, switched the jumpers to slave, and installed the drive into a tower computer. It worked, I am able to access the critical files on the drive. I isolated the external case as the problem by inserting another HDD into the case, and connecting it to my personal lap...same message "New Hardware Detected 24". I am not sure what would cause the case itself to fail, but never the less it can be replaced.
