Hacking can anyone from england help me please?

[Langlest]

i have a old external enclosure made by icybox but it wont work with usb loader, i keep getting the ret = -1 error
can someone help me out by telling me the name of a enclosure/external hdd that works and is available in the uk?
i have had a look at the compatability list but i cant seem to find them for sale here and i dont want to risk buying a different one as they are not cheap

I tried an Icybox first, also didn't work.

I'm now using one of these, takes IDE or SATA 2.5" drives.

Works perfectly.

Buffalo Ministation 160gb also works fine. £60 at Argos (or £70 for the 250gb). Doesn't need a power supply either.

Just to confirm, it's definitely a 2.5" you want isn't it?

Does anyone likewise from England have a working 3.5" enclosure which they can suggest?

I'd think the 3.5" version of the one I posted is likely to have the same controller, or at least very similar.

Might be worth contacting Newlink to ask.

I got a WD Passport 250gb Drive from PCWorld for only £54. Its on offer at the moment.
Works great and from reports the WD drives work flawlessly which is why i went with it. USB Powered from the Wii and tiny too

My Maxtor 500GB from PC World was £60.
It works great so far!
Hope I helped
