USB drive compatibility with Lion ?

Hi all, i have a an Exteranl USB Enclosure that contains a 3.5" IDE drive, this works fine when plugged into my 15" MacBookPro with LION and it also worked perfectly when i had Snow Leopard.

So why does it NOT work when plugged into a friends 13" MacBookPro with Snow Leopard ?????

Any ideas anyone, please

BTW. It doesnt show up in Disk Utility either !.

Hi,

I would check their USB Ports to see if they are working (try another port or another device in that same port)

You could check in System Profiler/Information in Lion.
