Do you have another 2.5" drive, you know works, to test your cable,
connector etc.
Drives can spin, and still be dead!
The Windows Computer Management program is also very useful to see if
the drive exists as a physical device.

I don't have this kind of external case, so no way to check that the
drive is OK :-/

According to the documentation above, no jumper = master.
I guess I'll just order a different IDE connector, and see how it
goes.
Thanks. >> Stay informed about: 2.5" drive not seen when connected to IDE plug? |

Unfortunately, no.

I suspect it's the adapter that just doesn't work with this drive.
I've ordered a different kind.

When booting with a FreeBSD CD, it can't even see the drive, which
makes sense since the BIOS itself can't see it.
On a third PC, the BIOS reports 8GB instead of 20GB, and FreeBSD fails
writing to it anyway :-/ >> Stay informed about: 2.5" drive not seen when connected to IDE plug? |

Right, who cares whether the bios can't see it.

Right, so obviously the drive is toast. >> Stay informed about: 2.5" drive not seen when connected to IDE plug? |

Mmm... OK, I'll get a new one and give it another try. There such
isn't enough room to cram a 3.5" in there.
