hi bernard

Thanks for your kind response.

The changing of caddy seems to be the best option for me as an almost non-techie.

I have the Medion Drive Instruction Manual but it doesn't say whether the drive is PATA or SATA. It is a few years old so probably PATA ??

When you say about the pins and plugs are these on the outside of the case or do I need to remove it??

As the case stands it has two socket connections - the power connection and another one connects the drive by USB to the computer.

I am from the Manchester area too....though I don't get about much these days due to illness.

cheers
