Once its detected will probably need to be initialized and formatted using the 'manage' of my computer or the start run way there as above..

SUCCESS, SUCCESS!

This may sound stupid but I didn't know I needed to plug in BOTH dual head USB cables.

It is now recognising the HD.

Thank you very much for your help I know that 90% of the time it's user error.

Thanks again
