Yep, but you also need a desktop to supply power to the disk, or anyway a suitable power supply. Use the mapleleaf guide: http://www.mapleleafmountain.com/seagatebrick.html If the size is detected as 0 then it is possible that it is a LBA0 problem, though there shouldn't be the "clicking for awhile". jaclaz Hmm, my disk my just be toast then, as the size is "unknown"?
