Sorry, but yes both a\drives are not working on their respective machines, same fault on both no lights no head chatter and even with a disc in I get the error message that their is no disc in the drive, I have checked the data/power connectors and all seems OK.
The strange thing is the a:\ drive still shows up in my computer even when it is not connected in any way ?
