Ok so I went out and purchased a wonderful onyx black Vantec NexStar 3 external Hard Disk case for my 320GB Western Digital SATA Hard disk, plugged the eSATA connector in booted into Vista and turned on the Hard Disk -- nothing.
What the *hey*
So after replacing the eSATA connector and scratching my head lots, I gave up and connected the Vantec through USB2 -- guess what ...
It worked perfectly!
But how is it that a new technology such as eSATA coupled with a brand new Intel DP35DPM board and Windows Vista = no eSATA joy?
There's something for SP1 Redmond boys.
