Firmtek eSATA card installs correctly, but doesn't see Vantec Enclosure
RTM, installed the drivers under OS X first, and after connecting the card under XP. Used the drivers from the correct folders on the disc for each, and both show the correct information and look fine. But the "light" on the Firmtek card has NEVER lit up, and though I've double and triple-checked the eSATA cable that came with the Vantec enclosure, I'm SURE I've connected it correctly. The power for the Vantec is plugged in, and the light on the DRIVE ENCLOSURE is on... but nothing from the Firmtek and the drive does NOT show up.
Looking in Windows, I went to Drive Manager. I couldn't see the drive partition in here, so I knew something was amiss. When I went to click on Removable Drives, I got an error and a red checkbox. It mentioned removable devices might be disabled, and when I went to services that was the case. I set it to automatic, started the service, and rebooted... no change.
In OS X, all I really know to do is look at the new icon at the top of the page. It's there, the correct info shows and the "Power off card" option is there. So it appears to be installed correctly, but again... no luck from the drive.
Maybe the cable that came with the Vantec enclosure is bad? It's all I can come It plugs in solid on both ends... so I can't figure out WHAT the heck is wrong.
Thoughts? Suggestions? There is NO info on FirmTek's site yet, so I guess I'll copy and paste this to them.
