    If they dont detect on your computer how can they be wiped? If they dont detect then something is wrong with the drive.

    I dont know..that is why I am asking, if the PC is not detecting them for some reason, would that mean they are already wiped.

    I have 9 total. 5 were detected, and 4 wasnt.

    Guess the 4 that wasn't, I will just break them down.

    Some have a small jumper on the back plug in between the power plug and the long connector.
