Recently purchased a 2.5 hard drive enclosure off Amazon and put in a 640gb old laptop drive. Didn't need to save anything on it so I formatted and partitioned it using Easus Partion Master. It works fine on my Windows 64 machine but neither my TV or Sony player recognize it and the both work with various other Hard Drives (WD external,IOmega, thumb drives etc.)

The enclosure came with a Y usb cord and works with just fine with just one of the Y's plugged in on my desktop and seems to spin up (led comes on also) when plugged into both media devices even when I plugged both ends of the Y in (thinking it might of been a power issue).

Any ideas or thoughts would be great
