Why wont esata usb connection work with a usb connector

[phornick]

Hello,
I have a Lenovo notebook with a eSATA/USB port however the uSB connectors won't fit into this port does it require an adaptor? tks

NVM.

It looks like this right?

Upon further googling, it seems that this is a powered e-sata port (meaning that it's a e-sata port but is designed so that a special e-sata/usb male end can also draw power as well as gain the transfer speed advantage of a e-sata port)

a regular USB cable should fit into it... this is gonna sound dumb but did you turn the try the usb cable the other way?
