    old laptop hard drive in caddy

    hi all, i got an old laptop drive 40gb and i got a caddy off the bay. when i connect it up the the flashes once and it doesn't show up on the pc. how can i tell if the hard drive is dead or the caddy is dodgy? also do i need jumpers on the hard drive? the drive came out of an old advent laptop that woudn't boot up.

    sorted now. One of the usb connections wasn't soldered properly, so soldered it.
