Think hardware power cabling bad socket,
Power available from socket.
Power doubler (twin plug) cables.
external powered hub

I have some towers here cant power some discs.
I have one powered hub here, has an extremely weak power supply,
Its not always the OS that bites you, but hardware too.

Cheers,
Julian
