    I'll check again when I get home but the only thing that was showing up for mounting or initialize was the usb stick.
    When I pulled the usb & rebooted , no devices showed.

    Nearly forgot, I installed an HDD in a new E8000 and it had screws for a 3.5 inch hard drive but not for a 2.5, I had to scratch about for some.

    Whatever you do in Windows will just get overwritten by Linux when initializing the drive so there is no point in doing it.

    Disk isn't starting. Just had a look & the plug on the supplied cable doesn't really fit properly into the connector on the pcb. Can't see anywhere else on the pcb for it to go so I'll have to bodge it or get in touch with WOS.

    Is that the right location & does the little solid triangle define the side where the red wire is?

    Like I said I installed one of these last week and it isn't immediately obvious which way round the plug goes on as there are no notches, you could in my opinion force the plug on the wrong way way round if you wasn't paying attention.

    there is a notch...if you look closely it matches up, on the motherboard at the bottom you will see a grove match this up with the lug

    I can't see a notch that corresponds with anything on the plug. It's definately not the right plug for the connector but It'll fit at a pinch.

    Which way round did you fit it? Was the red wire facing the rear of the case or the front?

    That looks like you have the correct plug. I've had a look at other plugs on the mboard with the same latch arrangement & they look like yours. My power plug is different to that.
    The red & yellow wires are in the same place.
