This is a Western Digital Caviar SE (WD2500) 250GB Sata hard drive that was removed from a Dish Network (US Satellite) PVR. If I plug it into Sata to USB enclosure the drive is fully functional, even bootable plugged into an iMac. When plugged internally it is sort of seen but registers as "unknown" in my Dell or pretty much invisible in the iMac.
I've read of the standard problems for this and none apply. Tried new sata cables, format, erase etc etc.
Is this a drive firmware issue and can it be resolved ?
