    Hey guys,

    Please excuse my lack of technical knowledge.

    My Seagate H/D wasn't registering so I decided to take the "bit off the end" (where I connect the USB cable) in the hope it was a problem with that bit of hardware.

    I took "that piece" off my external WD drive and put it on my seagate drive and it seems to work.....(although vista thinks its a WD drive).

    Now that I have identified the problem I need to know what "that piece" is called! so I can order another one. I would like to know where I can order from too!

    Thanks!

    Mike
