I have 2, and the first wouldnt spin the drive up. I have Vista. I am going to try and find the correct driver tomorrow, but every where says Vista dosent need drivers… Which I know, but its worth a try anyways. Dont really want to buy an enclosure, as I am doing this for a friend. The HDD does click as it first spins up, so it maybe bad… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/need-some-hdd-help-singh-maybe/246450)._
