1.	Solve : SATA II bacwards compatibility?
Answer» I have a new motherboard suitable for SATA II, but it doesn't seem to recognize my old SATA I hard disk, whose data I want to copy into my new HD. What can I do?SATA is backwards compatible, so that's not the issue. Check your connections, make sure everything's seated properly. Check your bios and see if it recognizes the DRIVE. After you've done that, open up the computer management console (Right click My Computer, click Manage) and check Disk Management to see if it is in the list and accessible.Thank you for your reply. I was using a so called "carry disk" device. I tried instead direct connections and can read the disk alright. I have to find out what is the TROUBLE with this device, because I want to be able to interchange disks easily. Best regards.Quote from: coco on October 02, 2009, 06:50:04 PM ...I was using a so called "carry disk" device... Never heard of one. What is it?A "carry disk" is a two piece device. The FEMALE piece is fitted into the computer. The male piece is like a little drawer, where a hard disk is located, and can be inserted or plugged into the computer, or you can carry it to another computer suitable fitted to receive it. If this explanation is not enough, I could send you further references or even a picture of it.Quote "carry disk" He means a mobile had drive rack and tray. Some of the cheap ONES are very bad. You have to get a good one. The major vendors will stand behind the product, but it you got it off of E Bay, maybe not.
